"You literally saved my life. You´re are the only one explaning so accurate. I´m am a Songwriter in afro-funk-jazz band, and i am in charge for all the writing, and this was my major big issue. Peace." Carmon
"Continue to love and be grateful for your material. Made a big difference to me and my band. We have trumpet, alto sax and Trom in our soul/blues line up along with guitar, bass and drum kit." Richard
"Thank you fred, you are great teacher. I took a horn arranging class under Don S. at Monterey 35 years ago, and have worked with some great players. You really simplify everything and make it much easier to understand. I have been writing parts for years but they now sound much better because of you. thank you Eddie
"Fred thank you so much..I have listened to all the videos and they are great...I'm a retired band director and life long big band player, but I knew nothing about writing for big band..my background at school was a purely classical approach ( jazz the devil music!)...since I have retired I have purchased a number of jazz arranging books and have learned much.. Having a live instructor like you explains it much better. This is great..wish I could have had you for an instructor many years ago!"
Thanks again, Roger
"Many thanks, really looking forward to reading the e-book for my studies on arranging. I'm keen to become a horn arranger to add to being a sax player. I also really enjoyed and learned from your YouTube tutorials, which had my pen to manuscript whilst I watched following each exercise.
~ Thanks, Alex from the UK"

I love your ability to teach with good humor, and making it easy. I play the alto sax and would like to record at least three voices. Merci for all this advice.

Hi Fred! As an educator, performer on keys & woodwinds, & arranger of many years experience, I am interested in your approach & methodologies. Power to you for highlighting this neglected art.
