CONTACT

What is the best way to contact Jair Klarfeld Music?
I am available between the hours of 8:30 AM and 9 PM (Central Time). Feel free to call me any day of the week including Saturdays and Sundays. You can also choose to email me anytime. I do check my email several times a day and will make every effort to respond to your email in a reasonable amount of time.

Can adjustments be made to your shows?
Yes. These shows were written for bands with specific strengths and needs for their students. An additional fee will apply depending on the amount of changes.

Can I mix and match movements of your different shows to make my own show?
Yes you can.

Can I buy one or more of your previously composed segments and then hire you to compose one or more new ones?
Absolutely. The previously composed segments will be at the single movement price and we can prorate the new composition depending on how much time is needed for the new segment.

Are percussion parts available?
I am in the process of having percussion parts for all my original compositions and public domain arrangements.

What do I get when I buy a new or previously composed show from Jair Klarfeld Music?
I will send you a complete set of wind and percussion scores, as well as parts in pdf format.

MUSIC …. ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS and/or CUSTOM ARRANGEMENTS

How much input do I have in the design of the original or custom music arrangements?
You can be as involved as much or as little in the process as you want.

When commissioning an original composition for your marching band, you can select the theme, style of music, length of show, ranges, solo/ensemble features, or any other musical elements that fit with what visual details you would like to incorporate on the field. If you choose to have us write custom arrangements, then you select the specific music and decide how you want it to flow. Again, we want your input as it pertains to length of show, instrument ranges, solo/ensemble features, etc. In either case we are here to provide suggestions and direction in any manner you deem appropriate.

As soon as we complete a segment of your show, we will send you an mp3 and pdf score for your review. I will make minor adjustments based on your feedback. I will then finalize that segment and move on to the next segment of your show. The same process is used for each segment of your show.
