Music Preparation
Compilation
Much time is lost in rehearsals when careful attention to music preparation has not been paid. Zack will provide musicians with carefully created digital or hardcopy compliation of music ensuring sit-down-and-play accessibility. Crafted with the fluency of a professional musician, Zack’s music compilation services ensures greater rehearsal efficiency and organization.
Cloud-Based Music Distribution
Ensure musicians have access to all music and recordings at all times. Centralizing music, recordings, and other gig/event details in one place fosters greater rehearsal efficiency, fewer miscommunications, and stress-free piece of mind.
SAMPLE:
Mid-Atlantic Congress
Music Handbook
All musicians for the 2020 Mid-Atlantic Congress were given this handbook which contained cloud access to all sheet music, vocal assignments, arrangements, schedules and audio recordings. This handbook organized and distributed music for three days of liturgies, services, and concerts. All links to copyrighted material have been disabled. Unfortunately, I can not grant any permission requests.
Lead Sheet & Choral Reductions
It is often difficult for rhythm musicians to play off full octavo scores due to page turns and lack of chord symbols. Zack can create custom lead sheets reductions according to your specifications. Similarly, not all choral pieces come with rehearsal choral reductions. Zack can create these to facilitate more effective choral rehearsals.
SAMPLE:
THIS became THIS
This lead-sheet was made for rhythm section musicians.
An 8-page score was reduced to 2-pages.
String Bowings
Un-bowed or poorly marked string parts waste precious rehearsal time. Good bowings are key to musical style, articulation, ease of playing, and rehearsal management. Bowings also require the work of someone fluent in string technique. Zack offers services ranging from simply copying bowings into individual parts to create bowings from scratch.
