Tim McCarrick.
I play music, work in the field of educational sheet music, and run this website. I do it because I love the music.

Musical Arrangements

After years of reviewing other people's musical compositions and arrangements, I decided to try it myself. I'm still a novice, but I think I know what works well for student string players. On a sliding scale, I'm definitely above "total hack" but well below "expert arranger"!
