Resource Roundup: Score Study
As an arranger, the discipline of score study is critical to developing a deep understanding of the composer's or arranger's original intent. It also provides a path toward a comprehensive appreciation for the work, no matter what your skill level might be. Listening is important on its own, but listening with a score in front of you reveals nuances that your ear alone may not ever catch. And those nuances are the recipe for finding and improving your voice as an arranger.
In that spirit, we have pulled together some master works available from our friends at SheetMusicPlus.com that are 100% worth checking out. These might be familiar to your ears, but if you have never studied the scores, you're in for a real treat. And who knows, you may just find inspiration for your next arrangement.
