I grade my music on a 1 to 6 scale.


Grade 1 - well, I don’t really have anything like this. This would be beginner to 2nd year.


Grade 2 - easy (no demand on range or technical difficulty)


Grade 3 - normal difficulty (the average high school band could play this)


Grade 4 - this is the difficulty of most of the shows I have written; it will take work to achieve the show; it has above average demands on range and technical difficulty, but not at all to extremes.


Grade 5 - there are a few shows at this difficulty level; the exceptional high school band will be able to achieve this music as it takes well above average ability to accomplish


Grade 6 - extremely rare in my writing; this would be collegiate-level difficulty


*NOTE: If you find a show you like that is too difficult as is, I can rewrite it to reduce the difficulty level. Please contact me to discuss pricing.
