Prices are negotiable, but I will let you know my usual rates when you email me!
We can also set up a virtual or in-person meeting to discuss commissions!
A half-deposit at signature and half-deposit at delivery, or an installment plan agreed upon by both parties.
These are group commissions that (hopefully) pay the same as a regular commission, but individual buy-ins are lower (such as paying $150 for a buy-in rather than, say, a $5000 commission fee for a band piece). This is a more accessible option for many ensembles, and the piece gets more performances! Let me know if you want to be a consortium lead!
If a regular commission is not possible, I do offer miniature specials where I write 1:00 to 1:30 minutes of music, but paid at the rate for 1:00 of music in that specific category. This is great for soloists and chamber groups looking for a shorter piece at a great price, or for a wind band/orchestra with a limited budget. Let me know if you're interested in this option.
