    I loved working with Jon.

    His arrangement was so in sync with my intent for the piece. His orchestral work was fantastic and I look forward to working with him in the future!

    Jon was instrumental in allowing me to complete a project that for years I wanted to do, but thought would never happen.
    I started with a piece of music and lyrics but could not match them. When I asked him to do that for me, he advised me that
    a better approach was to begin with lyrics, then add music to support it. He also suggested I learn as much about composition
    before beginning as I could. I did all he suggested and created a composition that I and others who have heard it, believe
    has real quality. He then provided an outstanding arrangement and a lead to a singer, who coupled with the arrangement,
    gave me an outcome that I would have never imagined.
    As for the price of his service, it is far more reasonable than you will find in just about any other profession. Not only is the
    hourly rate reasonable, but the assignment of time to the project is indisputable.
    Finally, the turnaround time may be as good as any professional I have used.
    You would be very well served by using Jon and his services.

    I’m so grateful to have found Jon! I wanted so much to have the opportunity to sing a couple of favorite songs that I had heard on youtube, performed by a couple of first-rate soprano soloists with beautiful orchestral accompaniments. Jon was able to very accurately duplicate the orchestral backing tracks, and in a very timely fashion. It was a dream come true for me and I know that I’ll be asking for his help again in the future. Thank you so much, Jon!!

    Jon’s hard work, diligence and expertise along with his creativity and well trained ear has taken my song “What I Love About America” in a fantastic new direction! Through all of the challenges of the year 2020, he has been a motivator and a true friend, helping me to hear what he heard by both arranging and producing a masterpiece. I wish I could afford to pay him what he is truly worth! Not sure anyone could!! Thank you so much Jon!

    I’m so glad I found Jon! He was able to transpose my original song into sheet music just from me singing into a voice memo on my phone and sending an mp3! He then worked with me to add instrumentals and really took the time to arrange the music just as I heard it in my head. Jon is wonderful at keeping communication, is a delight to work with and gives you his full attention as he builds your song. In just a few days you have a full, professional recording. Thank you Jon!

    I contacted Jon Burr earlier this year and requested that he score a song for me. Jon quickly delivered the score. I was impressed with his deliverable, his technical abilities and talent, but also noted a business professionalism which he brought to the table.

    I asked Jon if he could restyle/rearrange my song. Without a second’s waste-of-time, Jon said, “Of course that can be done!”

    Jon helped me find an excellent vocalist for the recording. I had many questions throughout the process which Jon answered incredibly quick, thoroughly, and effectively. He listened to my thoughts as to what I wanted but also shared his reasons behind numerous things he had embedded in the arrangement. Ultimately, Jon made it all come to life successfully in the 2nd recording.

    “Hats Off” to Jon Burr!
    Kudos, Jon- and thank you.

    I wrote a few songs and decided to look for a professional arranger to bring them fully to life. Through arrangerforhire.com, I found the incomparable Jon Burr, master arranger, producer, mix/master engineer, and last, but not least, renowned bassist and jazz musician.

    After determining my music style, instrumentation, and vocal preferences for the first song I submitted to him, Jon took the recording I made on my iPhone, and after just a few days, turned it into a remarkable polished and professional product at an amazingly reasonable price.

    As I continued to work with Jon, he gathered, at my request, additional world-class musicians to work on specific songs, creating a rich and beautiful body of work exceeding my wildest dreams. All of the songs I’ve completed with him to date have been released to the music streaming services and specific radio venues in this country and around the world. The latest song is due to be released shortly.

    Needless to say, it was a very lucky day when I reached Jon Burr at arrangerforhire.com.

    Jon Burr is fantastic – I absolutely love working with him. He’s definitely a bright light in the post-Covid virtual universe – especially for singers.

    I recently sent Jon six dated jazz holiday songs, and he quickly delivered six modern, sparkling tunes with witty, fun, swinging arrangements – which I LOVE and can’t wait to record!

    Jon really listens and understands – And even if, like me, you don’t have a sophisticated musical vocabulary – he understands and creates exactly what you’re looking for. He’s fast, inventive, highly skilled and amazingly affordable.

    It’s been a wonderful musical experience and I’m very excited to continue working with him! Thank you so much Jon – you really are the best!

    My teenage daughter wrote a musical, and we first attempted to work with some local part-time arrangers that took a long time just to complete a few songs. Being frustrated, we went online and were so fortunate to find arrangersforhire. Jon has exceeded all expectations! He provides the arrangements quickly, accurately, and with capturing the style of the song -all at a fair price. Jon just completed fantastic arrangements for her second musical, and we plan to send him the third musical she just finished. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    Hi,

    just a few days ago I decided to use services of “arrangerforhire” and I must say it exceeded all my expectations.
    I was desperately looking for someone who could create a sheet score for the piano of the existing song for me which I wanted to give as a present to a very dear friend of mine. And suddenly I have encountered Jon Burr and the site “arrangerforhire” and nothing better could have happened to me actually.
    I appreciate very much the whole Jon´s approach. It is so very easy to talk with him. I´ve told him what I would like to be made and not only that he delivered perfect sheets, but he has also delivered them super fast and exactly how I´ve wanted them created. And the prices are more than fair too.
    I could only recommend Jon and for whoever would like to have something arranged. And it really doesn´t matter if You are professional musician or amateur one like me…
    I´ve wanted to say that You are doing spectacular job Jon and I am pretty sure this is definitely not the last time I am using Your services.
    Jon is the real professional and amazing arranger who really knows what he is doing and I am grateful I have “stumbled upon” him when I did. Arrangers like him are very rare these days.

    I found Jon online and am so glad I did. I have been writing and notating melodies for years but need help when it comes to creating piano arrangements. I was thrilled with Jon’s work and professionalism. His communication couldn’t have been better; I was never in left in the lurch wondering when he’d reply. His approach is very client-centered; he pays attention to what you want and does a masterful job extending musical ideas. My style is musical-theatre, and his work hewed beautifully to the traditions and style of what I was looking for. My guess is he is well-versed in many, many genres and can handle any musical challenge. Jon took no shortcuts w/ my piece, but rather paid attention to the lyrics and the song’s themes and made the arrangement complement them accordingly. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I requested one change after he submitted his work to me, and finalizing the piece was an extremely easy, pleasant process. I’d go to him again for sure. Also, his prices are terrific.

    I am a piano teacher who needed an arrangement of a rare piece of music for a student which Jon did fast and accurately. However, the original music was a little too difficult for this particular student so he gave me two versions, the original and a modified version with the left hand simplified which made it easier for the student to play. It was truly excellent, and fast work!

    The service was fast and very professional. I’m not a musician, so my ability to explain what I needed was very limited. Jon was patient in working with the material I was able to provide (mainly a YouTube link!) and he wrote the full arrangement of a 3-instrument piece for a full orchestra. This was not minor feat and I am extremely pleased with the result. The conductor in charge of the local orchestra found no problem with the material Jon provided, so there was absolutely no need of revisions.

    I had been working with arrangers who didn’t follow through, who got busy with other projects and abandoned mine and who charged more than what they were worth. I googled music arrangers for hire, and low and behold, Jon came into my life.

    He is scoring music for my upcoming musical and his work is fabulous! He gets my vision and works with me when I can’t quite get that vision across. Jon has cranked out 3 superb arrangements in little over a week and continues to work on this project with diligence and professionalism. His easy going style works perfectly for me. He makes sure to stay in contact to let me know what is happening, or if there is a slight delay in the process, and having worked with inconsiderate arrangers, this is major for me.

    I feel like I have finally found someone I can collaborate with for future projects. Jon is a true professional.

    I found Jon Burr by googling arranger – frustrated with years of people trying to help me score my songs just for my own desires. He was not only personable and interested in my work, but fantastic in his professional arranging at an affordable price – layered for complexity of each project
    I couldn’t be more thrilled. We are beginning
    a series of song scores and I am confident
    In both his talent and his commitment to meet
    my needs.
    Check him out if you’re working on songs
    that could use scoring or another arranger
    He is truly a gem.
