I Will Transcribe Custom Horn Section Parts for Any Song

Whether you're adding horns to your band for the first time or need clean parts for an existing section, having everyone on the same page makes an enormous difference. Muddled arrangements cost valuable rehearsal time; a well-prepared chart gets your horns sounding great from the very first run-through.

Send me any recording that features horns and I'll create clear, accurate sheet music transcribed specifically for your needs. That means your key, your instrumentation, your structure — or faithfully reproduced exactly as the original record if that's what you prefer. Each player receives their own individual part as a clean, print-ready PDF (A4, suitable for printing or reading from a tablet), so everyone walks into rehearsal prepared.

Here's what's included in every order:

— Transcription of horn parts from your supplied audio
— Customised to your key and arrangement if needed
— Individual PDF parts for each player in your section
— Combined score PDF also available on request
— Transposing parts handled for standard brass and woodwind instruments
— Flexible arrangements available for sections that vary in size from gig to gig

Need the chart in a different key from the original? Not a problem — just let me know when you send the audio. Playing a structurally different version of the tune? Simply send a reference recording with the right structure, or a written outline, and I'll work from that.

If your section size varies, I can write flexible arrangements for three or more horns that still work with fewer players, with the lowest voice (often trombone) marked as optional.

For MusicXML delivery — useful if you want to import the chart into notation software — simply add the Project File Delivery option at checkout.

A note on audio length: the length refers to the full recording, but if large sections contain no horns at all, I'm flexible and happy to discuss this before you order.

Solos: improvised solos can be transcribed, though longer or more complex solos are priced as an extra — get in touch via the order chat to discuss.

Jazz and big band charts are also available, particularly where big band arrangements need reducing for smaller sections. These can be significantly more involved, so they are priced to order — please reach out before purchasing if this is what you need, and provide chord charts where possible.

Bulk pricing is available for five or more charts. Just ask.

This service is ideal for function bands, touring musicians, session players, recording projects, tribute acts and anyone putting together a horn section for the first time. If your players are going to sound polished and professional, it starts with a great chart.
