Highly recommended – Scot Ranney’s popular online community – see also his great videos at on YouTube – useful principles on playing idiomatic bebop – tutorials, tips and arrangements – comprehensive online presentation of material used for teaching at Southampton University.

A good place to look if you’re building a collection from scratch TRANSCRIPTIONS “All the resources listed below are free to download, but before you charge off on a downloading binge, a word of caution.

IMHO, transcriptions are of limited use unless you have access to the recording. While it may be possible to extract general principles from a score you haven’t heard, most often a transcription just won’t make much sense to you unless you’ve heard the recording.” JL – tons of horn solos, bop to modern. This guy needs to get out more, but I’m glad he doesn’t – ramshackle but packed French site linking to hundreds of transcriptions (all instruments and styles) – an awful lot of classical score editions are now in the public domain. There’s no better way to learn how to write for large ensembles, classical or jazz, than to download a full PDF score and follow it while listening to a performance on Youtube, Spotify or whatever – bop and postbop piano solos – lots of solos broken down by instrument – transcriptions by Rick Margitza and others (sound files included) – sound files included – great transcriptions (sound files included) CLASSICAL TEXTS ON COMPOSING & ARRANGING.

– whenever I recommend this ancient text, people groan but it’s actually quite fun (a bit like being taught by Yoda) and the presentation is surprisingly modern. – if you read one, read this. This is the text, an interactive online version is at Garritan’s site, – includes online books on Musical Form, Orchestration, Harmony and Counterpoint has an ongoing series of video presentations full of useful insight into the process and profession of a composer/orchestrator (and human being).
