I would like to offer arranging services for free to whomever may be interested.

I have some ideas for arranging for tuba quartets or tuba+trombone ensembles (e.g tuba plus 3 trombones, either 3 tenor trombones, or 2 tenors and one alto trombone)

I played in a trombone ensemble in college and played some beautiful music. We played in a large church sometimes. It was a great sound.

I'm doing this out of gratitude for the help I received finding a tuba to start on.

Please post your idea, or send it to me, and I will work on it. I write music notes by hand in pencil. I don't use software.

Arranging will help me learn the tuba. I want to learn the different notes and how they sound in an ensemble. On the trombone, every note has it's own color, and I'm sure it's the same with the tuba. I am starting the tuba on a 3 valve B flat tuba that I rented, and I've ordered a 5 valve CC tuba to own.

I would also love to write out orchestral excerpts for anyone who wants them. Maybe I could write out a collection of them.

Free (as in freedom as well as free burgers) music notation software that is quite good:

available for Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux

I use it all the time. I'm not affiliated with the developers.

Thank you, bighonkintuba.

If you would like to talk about arranging, get me. I am going to put this thread on the back shelf now. This is an open invitation to contact me.
