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!
-Randy
Thank you, Randy! I enjoyed working on your piece – thank you for the opportunity!
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.
Thank you, Roy ! It was a pleasure working on this with you! We’re looking forward to doing the video !
Jon was a great resource! He arranged a song for me with a backing track in under 48 hours and no major revisions were needed! I am very pleased with the result and can’t wait to perform it!
Thank you, Andrea ! Love to see a video, if you make one… 🙂
Jon arranged 5 songs with an assortment of instruments and levels of playing. He made it very easy and worked well with our requirements. I’ll be happy to use him again. Thanks for the help Jon!
If you ever record these, I’d love to hear em! Even a home iPhone movie would be awesome..!
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!!
Thank you, Janice! It was a pleasure to work on such terrific material !
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!
Thank you, Rod ! You were more than fair, always. And thanks for your permissions to do the case study – I’m looking forward to see what happens with this one!
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!
The structure of your melody provided clear cues as to the harmonic context – really nice tune! Looking forward to mixing when the vocals are done! Thank you, Mandy!
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.
Howard Clark
Thanks, Howard! This is coming together great, with vocals by Devin Bing. Looking forward to doing a case study on this one!
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.

Thank you, Connie! And thanks to Alexis Cole, Marc Phaneuf, Mike Eckroth, and Mairi Dorman-Pfanuef for their contributions to your project… it’s developed into whole collection, a CD’s worth, back in the day… best of luck with it! We can preview it on Spotify !
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!
Thank you, June! It’s a pleasure working with you!
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!
Kathy Marra
Elise is really talented and it’s a pleasure to work on her material! She’s got a bright future ahead in Musical Theater! Thank you, Kathy… looking forward to the next!
I came across Jon’s website and decided I would have him transcribe the piano part for a song I always wanted to learn how to play but could not find sheet music for. The transcription was accurate and timely. Just what I hoped for.
Thanks Jon!
Thank you, Don!
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.
Lukas S.
Thank you, Lukas ! You’re finding some beautiful music..!
My husband and I hire Jon to work on our most important and challenging projects. Not only does he deliver a quality product EVERY SINGLE TIME, but he has a quick turn around and his communications with us are always very thorough and professional. We are very proud to give him our business and look forward to our next project together.
Thank you for the opportunity to work on these, Amy! Please give my best wishes to Carlos on your project!
Jon Burr is a treasure! He arranged a theme song for a TV project for me and it is amazing! He is a consummate professional and gracious and supportive to boot! He is truly a blessing to us all! If you want a successful arrangement and would like to take any project to the highest level-Jon Burr is the guy!
Cannot thank him enough or say enough great things about him. His recommendations for my vocal track were perfection! Such a generous talent!
Love you Jon and thank you! Dee Kelly xoxo
Thank you, Dee – it’s an honor to work with you on this, and I can’t wait to see it on TV! 🙂 Hi and best to Mike.
I am extremely happy with your arrangement, and I have been elated over this wonderful professional experience with you.
Thank you, Gerard! It was an interesting challenge doing this forensic reconstruction of a score from a collection of archived old parts! We really enjoyed the work!
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 putting together a show as a fundraiser in my community. It is an all singing – all dancing production with live music. Jon provided arrangements exactly to meet my needs in a timely and professional manor which took so much of the stress out of the process. He was professional and attentive in his communication throughout and provided beautiful work that will enhance the show beyond expectation! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you, Jocelyn! It’s great to be writing for a live show with actual human musicians! Congratulations on your production, and all success in your fundraiser!
I am not a professional musician, actually far from it… but I had a vision for writing a piece for a special occasion for my daughter. Jon had taken a framework of what I had and turned it into a work well beyond that vision. I am incredibly grateful for his talent and care. Can’t wait to share it!
Thank you, Mark ! It was a pleasure – and a nice tune you wrote!
Jon, I wanted to thank you once more for the excellent work you did with the waltz. It was wonderful to be able to provide a piece for my daughter’s wedding, and you were a big part of making that possible. Each time I listen my appreciation for the creative touches you added increases. Here’s a (2 min) video of Judy and Matt dancing to the waltz:
It’s been a pleasure ( a dream actually) working with you, Jon ! I’ll be keeping you close at hand..
Beyond impressed with the work of Jon Burr, he transcribed / arranged the song I provided, accurately and beautifully, and I am so happy I choose him for the job. I have already hired him for a second job, did so immediately upon completion of the first. So that says it all right there! He is extremely professional and prompt with his email replies, and delivers on deadline. I would 100% recommend him.
Jon did an outstanding job transcribing an old recording of a song into an orchestral piece. I was very impressed with his work. He is very professional, efficient and great to work with. I recommend him highly for any project.
Very astute and conscientious work. I am delighted with his promptness and professional
care.
Thank you for the chance to do this work, Edward. A day writing music, even not my own, is a good day!
Wow!!!! outstanding work. Fast, efficient, professional and of the highest quality (and I am very picky). Plan to use Jon again, again for several other works.
It was a pleasure adapting your string writing for solo piano! Really interesting composition, a fresh combination of influences. Well worth checking out!
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!
Thank you for the opportunity to do this, Corby! It’s a pleasure to be of service.
Jon was awesome and fast, delivered excellent, expert arrangement days ahead of the expected deadline and was very patient with my technical challenges. He seemed to know exactly what I wanted and created the perfect arrangement. I’ll be working with him soon on more arrangements. Look no further, this is the guy! 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Christian! Looking forward to the next one!
Jon went above and beyond to get me a special piece of music on a short deadline. Easy to work with, timely, engaging and kind. Very happy with the result
Thank you Jon, I want to reiterate the positive comments written by others about Jon Burr and his ability to arrange music quickly and accurately. His arrangements are accurate, intuitive and innovative when needed. I have been searching for an arranger I can trust for two years now. I am very relieved after all this time to have found Jon..
William Allen…
It’s a great pleasure to work with you on your project, Al! Thank you for your comment!
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.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to do this work, Eduardo! It’s the greatest thrill to write for orchestra!
I’m very pleased with Jon’s transcription service. He created scores for a classic country ballad and a blues standard very quickly and professionally. He’s proficient regardless of the music style. I plan to work with him again in the future.
Thank you Ray! Always a pleasure to be of service!
After looking long and hard (and being disappointed numerous times) I found Jon Burr, who actually delivered well beyond what I was hoping for. He us a great resource, talented, yes, but as important, determined to understand his client’s vision and help achieve that.
I consider our first outing to be just the first of many.
Working with Jon was a great experience, a true professional for all your transcription and arranging needs. I reccommend his website to any musician looking for a excellent work at a affordable price.
Gio, great to hear from you! I enjoyed working on your piece! It was challenging, contemporary and hip. Let me know what’s happening with it! Love to hear a recording.
I m working on it! I hope have the final version in few weeks. 🙂
i needed someone to do a simple arrangement but i wanted some one to take me seriously. i searched the internet and came to this website. i was not disappointed. Mr Jon BURR did a great job in giving me just what i needed. Professional, honest, helpfulI. Thanks a million guys !!!!!!!!!!!
Robin, thank you so much for your kind words.
Your song “Good is God” is beautiful and profound! Glad to be able to help!
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.
Ronnie Boggess
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.
