Hello all - I’ve had some serious technical difficulties with my site over the last week, and no thanks to my hosting company, I’ve finally resolved these problems! Therefore, many of you may have wanted to enter my contest to WIN A FREE CD but the post disappeared over the last week!
I’m extending the contest deadline to Monday, May 12th (a little over a week from now). Here are the original details:
The UMass Dynamics, have just released their sophomore effort, Love Games. Yours truly created 7 of the arrangements on the album and am literally bouncing off the walls with excitement to have everyone hear them. The Dynamics were gracious enough to let me add the sound clips to my page, and you should definitely pick up a copy of their album here. Please let me know what you think of the arrangements; here are some samples.
AND - as a contest; a randomly selected person who e-mails me after listening to the arrangements with feedback about any/all of the songs (positive feedback and criticisms both welcome!) will win a FREE copy of their CD! Your odds are pretty good; I don’t have thousands of subscribers to this site.
Send me feedback with “Dynamics” in the subject line to info @ nycacappella dot com. The contest ends April 30th! MAY 12th!!!
Hi everyone - it’s finally gorgeous spring weather here in NYC, and I’m so glad to have some new music clips for you to listen to. One of my most dedicated clients, The UMass Dynamics, have just released their sophomore effort, Love Games. Yours truly created 7 of the arrangements on the album and am literally bouncing off the walls with excitement to have everyone hear them. The Dynamics were gracious enough to let me add the sound clips to my page, and you should definitely pick up a copy of their album here.

Hi everyone - I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog posting front, due to busy days with my daughter and busy nights working on arrangements and everything else I don’t have time to do during the day. A new client joined the NYC A Cappella roster:
I’m loving that my clients are requesting some fantastic customized arrangements. Luckily for me, everyone seems to be picking great songs that I happen to love even before I start arranging them. In the last few weeks I’ve arranged a Guster song, one by the Scissor Sisters, a Mika track, and a classic Journey medley. It doesn’t get any better than that!
In terms of a new CD, one of my favorite groups, the UMass Dynamics, is preparing for the release of their sophomore effort, “Love Games”. It’ll be coming out in late April and I’ve had the pleasure of listening to some early mixes. I’ve arranged 7 of the tracks on the CD and am like the proud parent to this group - they’ve truly flourished in the last few years and this album will hopefully have the a cappella community talking. You can order their album here. And no - I don’t get a single penny from their sales, so I’m touting the album simply because everyone’s going to love it.
I just wanted to wish all of my clients, friends, family and a cappella fans a wonderful New Year. Here’s a clip from the UMass Dynamics singing my arrangement of “I Want You Back”. Enjoy!
Hi everyone -
I’m back up to speed and arranging once again at NYC A Cappella. I took a few months off because I’m a new Mom of a 2 month old baby (pretty good excuse, right)? So now, while listening to nursery rhymes playing over and over again, I’m working again and arranging.
Between now and December 31, 2007, you can get in on my current rates for an arrangement ($150 for a custom arrangement for first time clients!). In 2008 my rates will increase a bit, as I have a few more expenses around the house like diapers and such. Book the arrangement now and we can start it in 2008 (winter semester, etc) and you can get the great rate now!
Here’s wishing everyone a wonderful and warm holiday season, and please get in touch soon to lock in the 2007 rates for an arrangement!
Hi a cappella fans -
Just as a reminder, I have lots of existing arrangements available for sale for your a cappella group, and I recently updated my list of what’s available on the “Arrangements” tab of my site. For a complete list, please e-mail me directly! Happy fall!
Hi everybody! I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer. Here at NYC A Cappella I’ve been working on a few arrangements and am going to make some updates to the site, such as revisions to my repertoire list of existing arrangements and (hopefully) some new audio samples. I recently completed a 4-part jazz-gone-rock version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana, and also arranged “Fast As You Can” by Fiona Apple. Both were challenging but really rewarding arrangements!
I’m going to be taking a few months off from NYC A Cappella but will aim to be back up and running in January 2008. In the meantime, if you’re looking to hire me for arranging, please continue to drop me a line! I may have time here and there but also have names of some great folks to pass you along to in case my schedule is too busy. Enjoy the fall and as Arnold says in The Terminator… I’ll be back!
NYC A Cappella welcomes two new clients to the roster:
Mystery Date - a fabulous all male quartet based in NYC that I’ve also had the pleasure of coaching for a few months.
Napa High School - a subset of their main choir, they have a few a cappella groups at the high school level, which is fantastic (high schools need more a cappella groups!).
