About Kevin
From the trombone section to the conductor's stand
I joined the Army at fifteen as a trombonist, studied at Kneller Hall and spent nine years as solo trombone in the band of The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars. That is where I started arranging.
These days I am musical director of The Allegro Wind Band and Andover Light Orchestra, and I write and arrange for both. Whatever I write has to work for the players in front of me.

Score and parts: what comes in a set, and what to check before you order
What the score and the parts are for, the questions to ask about instrumentation and transposition, and when to buy the score on its own first.

Why my film and pop arrangements are sold by other publishers
A song in copyright cannot be arranged and sold without a licence. Here is how that works, and what it means when you buy music for your group.
