"I have known Adam for several years and admire his musical & arranging skills. When the time came to create a musical arrangement for my high school band, I was able to lean on his expertise in ensemble building, creating the right parts for the right players. Additionally, his attention to detail yields an outstanding musical product. In a recent arrangement, he made chord voicing adjustments to our final draft, which made the harmonic landscape of the work even better. I strongly recommend working with Berndt Music Services!"
Ryan Alban
