Arrange/Orchestrate your music

Jan Dintheer on SoundBetter

Have your own song arranged or orchestrated for your ensemble, a string or horn section, or even a big band.

If you're looking for a custom horn or string section arrangement for your song, you've come to the right place. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar Performance and a Master's degree in Arranging and Composition. My name is Jan, and I'm a professional musician and composer from Switzerland with over 18 years of experience in playing, recording, composing, arranging, producing, and teaching music. I look forward to arranging your music with my full attention to detail. Depending on your needs, I can provide you with a score, individual parts, MIDI files, sound files, or a combination of all these.

Interview with Jan Dintheer

  1. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  2. A: I will do my very best to make your music even better, ensuring you're happy with the final product.

  3. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  4. A: Do you have a specific vision where your music should go?

  5. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  6. A: To feel what the music needs and where it needs to breathe.

  7. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  8. A: I bring creative ideas, flavor, and color - everything centered around the music. The music should always come first, not a concept or an ego!

  9. Q: What's your typical work process?

  10. A: I usually discuss with my clients in a chat or video call to clarify exactly what they have in mind. Do they already have an idea of the musical direction or the emotions they want to convey? Then I create a draft that provides a sense of direction and gather feedback. Depending on their response, I either revise the draft or further develop the ideas. Throughout the process, I like to send interim results and stay in regular contact with the client. Open communication is very important to me.

  11. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  12. A: Most of my commissions come from people looking for a full big band arrangement or an added horn or string section for their songs.
