Welcome!
My list of arrangements can be viewed either alphabetically or by song category. Each song has a sneak peek from which you can see a page or two and order the arrangement. From that page you can also listen to an audio sample and find a link from which to purchase learning tracks.
If you order an arrangement, the fees are determined by the number of members in your group.
Thank you for visiting my site! Please contact me with any suggestions for, or problems you may have with it. I’m sure there may be bugs to work out now and again.
