Brendan's Notes

As a freelancer, I feel like I serve as a music translator. I work with clients who need something in the music realm: a composition, a song, a performance, a transcription, etc. I help code-switch and bring their ideas into music notation and/or performance. It's a very fulfilling job, and I really enjoy it.
