I'm a member of ASCAP, I was a music consultant on Mad Men, and my classical pieces have been Grand Prize winners. I've also worked as a composer, arranger, orchestrator and copyist in concert music, TV/film music, and more. I have a classical B.Mus performance degree from Oberlin Conservatory, a M.Mus in Afro-Latin music and decades of experience as a performer in jazz, pop, Latin, and gospel music. or repeat makes sense and doesn't require an unnecessary page turn. I care about page breaks and formal structure - I try to make sure that they make sense and, whenever possible, jumping back to a D.S.
My arrangements may not exactly match the original recording - sometimes they leave out parts, especially when they are written for students who have less experience. I usually include fingerings, which is time-consuming to put in and requires a lifetime of experience. Most of my arrangements are field-tested on my students! Many of the fingerings and editorial decisions are based on either my experience as a teacher or actual challenges my students encountered playing the arrangements. To me, most arrangements are either needlessly difficult or don't really capture the "essence" of a song in the hands of a student/learning pianist! There are some clef changes and a few somewhat challenging hand changes. This easy piano arrangement of the recent TV show's theme is designed to catch some of the major melodic ideas in the brass as well as the recurring string ostinato pattern.
