Description
Comparable to a course, the reader will be guided step by step from the grassroots to more advanced and complex ways of writing. Here, it is not intended to simply float some apodictic rules that lack proper explanation. On the contrary, the explanations given will cover the questions time and again asked by students as well as the issues arising when working in an artistic situation. Through refined verbalization and a vast number of musical examples this book should contribute to a clear understanding of these guidelines, and foster the student's ability to realize the issues when arranging.

More about this title

About the Author: Peter Herborn

Peter Herborn brings decades of experience as both a jazz educator and working arranger to this comprehensive text. His approach prioritizes clarity and real-world problem-solving over dogmatic rules, rooted in his understanding of what students actually encounter in rehearsals and performances.

Why we love this

Herborn refuses the trap of prescriptive rules without justification. Instead, he addresses the specific questions and roadblocks that arise during the arranging process itself, making this less a rulebook and more a conversation with an experienced mentor. The abundance of musical examples transforms abstract concepts into concrete applications.

Who it's for

Jazz students ready to understand arranging principles from first principles through advanced orchestration. Directors and arrangers seeking a pedagogically sound reference that explains the reasoning behind common practices.

How to use it

Use this as a core text for jazz arranging workshops or independent study. It works equally well as a reference guide for directors working with student arrangers or as a self-directed exploration for serious instrumentalists wanting to understand the architecture behind the charts they play.

Skills your students will build

  • Foundational arranging concepts and their underlying logic
  • Orchestration techniques for jazz ensembles
  • Problem-solving approaches to common arranging challenges
  • Score reading and analysis of professional jazz arrangements
