Estelle Pizer

Music preparation involves the preparation of printed parts and scores from the composer's score for musicians to play from at rehearsal and recording sessions. I also act as Orchestral Manager, Composer's Assistant and Production Manager for film recording sessions where I schedule and manage the flow of recording.

I use Finale, Sibelius, Mosaic and have some knowledge of Logic Audio and Pro Tools.

The main project that I am currently working on is The Beatitudes, a music theatre work composed by Sandy Evans with lyrics written by Nigel Jamieson.
