Schott Music Crashkurs Arrangieren

Arranging your own pieces of music is a creative feat. Writing and playing them is an elaborate process that must take into account a great many elements. Several instruments have to be involved, all of which take on a castor, to create a coherent piece of music that fits together.

Crashkurs Arrangieren introduces you to the world of independent arranging and teaches you step by step everything you need to know. The basics are demonstrated here using a so-called map, which guides musicians along the right path. The edition is especially aimed at those who want to become active in jazz, rock/pop and classical music. Sheet music and audio examples serve as illustrations, and selected exercises help to put what has been learned directly into practice.
