" What a fantastic service! The orchestra performed Junior Jazz and Chloe's Calypso in assembly last week and it went down very well. For a school which had no orchestra or choir prior to this, it seems like a little miracle! Your arrangements are so approachable and we find we can get one piece under our belt over one rehearsal so everyone feels good! "
K Doley

" I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful variety of music I am now able to offer my orchestra thanks to the discovery of your website. The parts are so easy to teach, rehearsals are lighthearted and fun and the time passes far too quickly! I no longer worry where I am going to find music which will suit everyone in my orchestra. "
L Ranger, Manor Fields School, Bishop's Stortford

" We have used many of your arrangements in our Junior woodwind group and they have been brilliant! The kids love them! Many thanks. Your web site is great and to hear the music too is very helpful! It's really helped us with our windband, as a lot of [other] music we had tried was just too difficult for them! "
S Perks, Forest Arts Music

" We have started our orchestra at St Martin's Primary school and I've got to tell you, your arrangements are phenomenal!
We are really having the time of our lives! "
P Memela, St Martin`s School, Dorking

" Chloe's Calypso was fab today and we got through the WHOLE Water Music! They have loved it so I am thinking of ordering the other movement. The Junior Jazz for the Brass Group has been fantastic! Thanks again for your arrangements! "
L Hill, St Ronan`s School

" I have been meaning to e-mail you for a while to thank you for the arrangements I have purchased from you for the Summercroft Primary School orchestra and in particular for the Twinkle Twinkle Variations that you arranged especially for us. The Variations gave us exactly the right material for our Workshop Day with the London Mozart Players earlier in the term, helping to make it a really successful and enjoyable occasion. Last week I received the following comment from Margaret Archibald of the London Mozart Players as part of their evaluation of the day: "the especially commissioned music from Music by Arrangement gave us the perfect starting point for our day's work and final performance to the rest of the school." We performed the Variations and your Diamond Waltz again in our end of term concert last week. It was great to have pieces that catered for our younger beginners as well as stretching the more able musicians in Year 6. We have also enjoyed using your Starter Kit pieces throughout the year. So thank you once again for providing material that is just right for the youngsters in our orchestra. I shall be ordering more in due course! "

" In June I ordered the music for In the Hall of the Mountain King for my two sons and nieces to perform at a school concert. (They are aged 7, 9, 10 and 11). I just wanted to say thank you for your service. They all did a brilliant performance and really enjoyed it! "

" Love your arrangements, children really sound musical ! (The) arrangements work well for beginners, gave my orchestra a real sense of achievement- thank you! "
J Appleby, Ledbury

" I ordered some music from you last year and just wanted to say a huge thank you! We performed Balloon Ride and Chloe's Calypso in the final concert and got lots of super comments from parents. The children took to them straight away and because each part was their standard we were able to work on playing as a group rather than learning new notes - Thanks! "
L Williams, Woodlands Junior School, Harrogate

" Thankyou so much for your music for school orchestra. Our children are thrilled with the success we are having in our rehearsals. [They] are thoroughly enjoying being in the orchestra and playing your arrangements. We played in assembly last week for the first time and have a concert booked for July. So thanks once again. "

P Memela, St Martin`s School

" I thought I would write you a line just to say what a huge success your wind band starter kits were for my junior wind band courses that I held this weekend. They were just the right level and gave the pupils a real sense of satisfaction. My team leader was also really impressed with them and intends to use them for similar courses. Thanks again!"
V Bates, Durham County Music Service

" I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for the music, your fast and prompt service. We performed two of your arrangements at a combined schools concert this afternoon, 3 different schools performing together, they sounded brilliant! It has inspired myself, and two other music teachers both from different schools to meet more often and get the children performing together in an orchestra. So thank you for the inspiration, and here's to more music making! I'll be in touch for more music soon."
S Lulham, Cranmere Primary School, Surrey

" The music you sent for us (Ode to Joy) at Christmas was well received by both players and parents, and was performed at the Frodsham Christmas Festival. Thank you!"
C Madden, Frodsham

" Thank you for your music. I could not keep the orchestra going without it! The children love playing together and the peripatetic music teachers have remarked on the improvement in the children's playing.....I believe that they are getting an invaluable experience."
D Hayward, Swindon

" I so value your website for my orchestra. It is so great that you offer the individualised part arrangements so that each member is stretched and the piece is well balanced at the same time. I am currently using your "Midsummer Night's Dream" music with my orchestra. The Carmen and Magic Flute music last term was great. The kids loved it too! You are a terrific resource."
L Martin

" The music sent to us last term was very well received by both children and parents; the little orchestra is growing in both numbers and confidence & because the pieces are entirely suited to their needs, the quality of performance is fantastic - many thanks."
C Madden, Frodsham

" The parts you have done for me previously have been perfect."
S Kee, Hertford

" Love the new design of the website, really easy to follow. The music you prepared for "Sayers Croft" was and a huge success with all the different levels."

" Thank you for sending the music I ordered (Mystery Mansion and Junior Jazz) so quickly, the parts are exactly the standard for the wind group I had in mind. "

" Music we had before from you has been excellent - I am so pleased I found you on the internet. It has solved all of my orchestral problems!!!"
Elizabeth Reynolds, Coundon Primary School, Coventry

" I'm sure you won't mind if I say how good your compositions/arrangements are and just right for the level of my instrumentalists. "
Mr White

" We needed several approachable and tuneful pieces........there has been enough for each player to do, and results have been astounding. Yet the music has provided the kind of challenge we wanted to present to our ensembles.......the parts arrived swiftly, and beautifully printed. "
Colin Ashworth, Head of Music,
Sir Christopher Hatton School, Wellingborough, Northants

Mrs N H

" I just wanted to write you a note to say how great your arrangements are for school orchestra……..the parts are clearly presented and appropriate for the ability of each child. The orchestrations are well done, with attractive and effective harmony that doesn`t drown the melody. I am still receiving praise for the brilliance of the orchestra…..I can only congratulate myself on finding you!"
Mrs J Kiely,
Amherst School, Kent

" Thanks so much for Mystery Mansion and Junior Jazz which arrived today. They are just brilliant!! I have never before had such an inspiring orchestra practice as I had this Tuesday! Three of my guitarists thought that it would sound even better on electric guitars and asked if they could bring in their electric guitars next week. I'm not used to such enthusiasm.  Thank you for providing such approachable and inspiring music, and so affordable!! I'd love to buy more straight away. "
Mrs J Dean,
The Firs Junior School, Kent

" It`s a great help to me to have something fun to work with. The children really enjoy your arrangements, and the parents love the tunes; the concerts are coming over very well............I`m a big fan, we used mostly your pieces during our OFSTED inspection, and we got a `one`! "
