Most of the scores are for sale although a few are free. You
have the benefit of being able to hear before you buy, and then having an
immediate print. Prices for scores of chamber music and larger works are kept low as
you will have to pay for the instrumental parts.
The scores are all very carefully prepared and (so I am
told!) widely admired. If you do find any errors, a correction is just an email away at:

There are some scores specifically written for students, but the vast majority are written
with professionals in mind. I have always been lucky enough to play with and write for
players who enjoy a challenge. In the case of arrangements you will find scores vastly
more accurate and true to the original than many others available online.
I studied Clarinet and Saxophone at the Royal Academy of Music, and have played in everything from Punk to Puccini.
I now live in Kent in "The Garden of England". My musical tastes have always been eclectic ranging through Classical,
Jazz, Rock and Contemporary - from Bach and Blood Sweat and Tears to Berg and the Brecker Bros. My music reflects
this broad taste and after a career of performing and teaching I now spending my time composing and arranging.
My reputation has come from my skill in scoring with a real understanding of the capabilities of the instruments for
which I write. Scores are well presented and my music is widely performed (music sold to 47 countries so far).
My writing for wind and brass tends to be quite demanding, often being commissioned for specific ensembles,
but there are tutor books for clarinet and saxophone and some elementary pieces to help specific technical difficulties.
Feedback is always welcome, and I am particularly keen to hear of performances and receive copies of programmes.
