Kristin is ready to play her violin, and wipes down her hands on her dress.

Music for all

I love getting to use my musical creativity in creating custom arrangements.  I'm ready for all challenges: 

  • Wide range of playing ability
  • Unusual instrumentation
  • Style contrast (original song to performer)
  • All group types and sizes, from string quartets to marching bands.

What can kristin create? ...Whatever you want!

For example:

I arranged music for my own wedding, including a flute duet arrangement from a Brahms piano quintet melody.   I also created an arrangement of a Brahms piano Romance for brass quintet, and an original composition I wrote specifically for the recessional.


I often write out melodies for my students, who are wishing they could play the latest hit song on their violin, or a movie theme on the piano. I pride myself in creating playable versions, specific to any ability level. I'm also much faster than waiting for the "Hits" or "Soundtracks" books to be released by publishers!


My arrangements sound good and are satisfying to play, but also are creative in incorporating the flare from the original work with the unique requirements of the performing group.

Winds

Marching Band: 

  • Two shows for the Iowa State University Marching Band (Motown, and James Bond themed).
  • Current hits for the ISU Pep Band. (including Mambo No 5, I'm a Believer, and Sell Out)


Brass Ensemble: 

  • For beginners/middle schoolers during covid lockdown, including Bang! (AJR),  High Hopes (Panic At The Disco), and The Entertainer (Joplin).

Strings

  • Various string quartet arrangements for the quartet that I coach, made up of middle schoolers


  • Christmas arrangements for my daughters and nieces to play for family at the holidays, including Silent Night, Carol of the Bells, and Here Comes Santa Claus.


  • Trios for two violins and viola, including "Into The Unknown" from Frozen 2, and Taylor Swift's "Lover", to be played with my kids during covid lockdown. 

Vocal

  • SSA arrangement of Dream A Little Dream - my very first arrangement, for my high school girls choir.  It was performed as part of our group's regular performance for the year. 


  • Barbershop-inspired arrangements of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and Oklahoma.
