Orchestration and Vocal Arranging
In addition to her work as a composer, Elspeth loves collaborating with other composers & songwriters on their orchestrations and vocal arrangements! She is experienced in creating clear, readable band charts for live performance, as well as digital tracks with professional-quality sound libraries that can be used for performances and/or rehearsals. Feel free to check out her sample page, and if you're interested, see below for standard rates.
Standard Rates
Rates for services depend on complexity and length of the work requested. Here are the average ranges that Elspeth would quote for frequently requested services:
Orchestration (from piano/vocal score): $25-$50 per instrument
e.g. a string quartet arrangement would likely land around $100-$200; a piano/drums/bass combo would be around $75-$150.
Orchestration + Digital Track: as above, +$25 per instrument
Digital Track creation only (from existing orchestrations): $25-$50 per instrument in existing orchestration
Elspeth is always open to charging on a sliding scale, so if these rates don't work for you, feel free to reach out anyway with your request!
