With the flexibility of my studio, I can quickly and efficiently provide custom music arrangements or compositions, while also tapping into a network of talented musicians for broader ensemble work if required.

Why Choose Me?
With a deep classical foundation and the ability to adapt to modern styles, I bring technical skill, creativity, and dedication to every session. Whether you need detailed string arrangements, expressive violin solos, or personalized compositions, I’m committed to delivering results that exceed expectations.
If you’re seeking a professional violinist with extensive experience and a passion for musical innovation, I would be delighted to collaborate on your next project.
String Arranging
I specialise in arranging music specifically for strings, whether you’re looking to enhance an existing recording or create a standalone arrangement. Our services are ideal for anyone who wants a bespoke string arrangement, whether for a personal gift, a professional recording, or a unique performance.
With years of expertise, we can arrange any piece of music for string ensembles, or add strings to an already existing track. Additionally, we can professionally record the arrangement for you in our in-house studio, ensuring a polished, high-quality sound. On average, creating a custom string arrangement takes about 5 hours, and I pride myself on delivering efficiently without compromising on quality.
String arranging is a highly specialised skill, best performed by someone with in-depth knowledge of the instruments. Many online arrangements are adapted from piano scores, often leading to subpar results. As a professional string player, I ensure that every arrangement is crafted with precision, making the music truly shine.
