Video Of An Arrangement

As I mentioned before, a friend of mine played my arrangement of My Soul, Your Beats! (From Angel Beats!) in his piano recital. He made a few mistakes, but overall he did a very nice job. Besides, it's an extremely hard piece. Just got around to posting the video for you guys, enjoy!

Lot's of news!!

If you're a fan of The Legend Of Zelda, you're in for a nice treat. I made a Piano arrangement of the Romance theme, and you can find it over on Josh Agarrado's site.

Also, I'm finished all of my projects for my Music Theory class, so I have more time to do more fun arrangements. In other words, more Zelda! Hah, I've just been wanting to do more Legend Of Zelda arrangements, and what better time than now? I am finishing up the school year, after all.

Do any of you like my arrangement of My Soul, Your Beats! from the anime series "Angel Beats!" It's a very hard Piano arrangement. If you haven't seen it yet, you can also find that over on Josh Agarrado's site, But that's beside the point. My best friend is an amazing Piano player, and he's playing my arrangement in his next Piano recital.

This is great for a few reasons:
1) I finally get to see one of my arrangements get performed. It's also getting recorded, so I might get to show you guys his performance if he gives me permission.
2) His Piano teacher loves the arrangement, and wants to meet me, the man who made it.
3) His Piano teacher works at a music store I'm currently trying to get hired at. If she puts in a good word about me, I might get the job.

Why is it so important I get a job? So I can purchase more tech and software to use for arranging. Also, I'd be able to purchase my own Alto Sax. Finally, I'd also be Able to purchase more anime, video games, and CD's. Why is the last part so important, you ask? Well, I need to be inspired, you see.

I'm working on some more arrangements that are from anime and video games, so I'll be able to upload these ones for you guys to check out. I'll be working on stuff from Zelda and Mega Man. So, I hope you like those types of arrangements. I'm also working on some nice arrangements from Pokémon.

Enjoy all these, and check back for updates. Until next time-

Looking For A Host

Needless to say, I'm looking for a place to host my arrangements. If any of you know of a place, please let me know immediately! No, it can not be a anime/ video game sheet site. I need a site to host arrangements of real songs by real artists.

Of course, if any of you run a sheet music site and are willing to host my sheets, please let me know! ^^

Current Project

I'm working on a little project for my Music Theory class. I have to arrange 3 more concert band arrangements. So far, I have arranged Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fountain of Dreams, and Apologize (One Republic).


Today in class, I submitted my arrangement of Apologize, by One Republic. Needless to say, I got a good grade, as usual. Anyways, I have to back and make some minor edits to it first. I need to add more variety to the lower instrument parts. After I do this, I can upload it somewhere if anybody wants it.

Also, I'm doing 3 more concert band arrangements for my Music Theory Class. I'm thinking of doing Secrets by One Republic, Paradise, by Coldplay, and I'm not sure about the last one yet. I'll decide soon.

Ocarina Duets

I have arranged two Ocarina duet pieces for me and a friend of mine. Our music teacher is currently out sick, so my friend and I wanted some music to practice. Thus, I made two nice arrangements.

The first arrangement is the Lavender Town theme from Pokemon Red and Blue versions. I titled it "avender Syndrome", after the case of the children suicides in Japan. This one uses two parts

The sescond piece is the remake, which is the Lavender Town theme from Pokemon Gold and Silver versions. This one sounds kinda pretty, rather than very sad sounding. This piece only has 1 part, but it gets doubled.

I'll be uploading these two pieces on Ichigios, and Josh Agarrado's site after me and my friend learn them. They are for Ocarina, but they can also be played on Flute.

I will be managing sheet music on two online communities

Just letting you guys all know that I will be helping manage sheet music sections on two websites that both have very large communities One is for a anime fan base the other is for a video game fan base. I can't tell you which sits, or which series', as I don't want to spoil it. I'm sure you guys will like it. After all, what's better than having me manage an entire sheet music section of a website? I'll update when I'm allowed to say what it is.

BIG NEWS!! My first concert band arrangement.

I was talking to my band teacher today, and he's giving me a major opportunity. I just started my spring break today, and I'm going to be working on a concert band arrangement over the break. When I get back from spring break, I'll submit it to him, and he'll judge how good it is. If he thinks it's good enough, the class will sightread the piece. This is my first concert band arrangement, so it''s pretty exciting! The piece I'll be arranging is called Ballad Of The Goddess, and it's from The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Also, I'm going to be asking my band teacher if he'd be willing to let me conduct this piece. I conducted along to my rough copy of the sheets earlier while playing an MIDI file of it, and it's pretty simple to do. Hopefully all goes in my favor. Also, I might try and upload a video of me conducting it if I'm able to.
