My services include transcribing complex music by ear, arranging music for different instruments or in different styles, and scoring jobs, such as transposing, writing up hand-written music, or redesigning a layout. I am a classically trained pianist, experienced at sight-reading in function bands, and have worked with a wide variety of musicians across many styles. Samples of my transcribing and scoring work can be found below.
"Toby is one of my go-to arrangers – always accurate and with a meticulous eye for detail. His arrangements are classy and well-judged, and he makes the charts easy to read. He is reliable and he can work under time pressure – I've found him invaluable in last-minute situations."

"Amidst the general mayhem of performing and teaching in autumn 2023, I was eager to get my head inside Chick Corea's playing on "Light as a Feather" for a gig but didn't have a spare moment for transcription. Toby was incredibly helpful, providing three perfect and beautifully notated transcriptions with record speed. His service is highly professional, and I recommend him without reservation."
