About the role
Develop instrumental and vocal arrangements, harmonies, song structures, and parts for performers and recording sessions. Arrangers turn a song into a plan for performing it: who plays what, where the song builds, and how every part fits together.
What you’ll do
- Arrange songs for bands, small ensembles, choirs, and vocal groups
- Write harmony parts and vocal arrangements
- Shape song structure: intros, builds, breakdowns, and endings
- Prepare charts, lead sheets, and parts for musicians and singers
- Adapt songs for different settings, from stripped-down to full band or orchestral
- Attend rehearsals and sessions and adjust arrangements in real time
What we’re looking for
- Strong music theory, including harmony, voice leading, and form
- The ability to read and write music (standard notation, chord charts, or both)
- Proficiency on at least one instrument, ideally piano or guitar
- Experience arranging for an ensemble: school, church, a cappella, or band
- Coursework in music or self-taught equivalent
- Current students, recent graduates, and self-taught applicants are all welcome — no professional credits required
Nice to have
- Notation software such as Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore, or Finale
- DAW skills for arrangement mockups
- Experience writing for horns, strings, or musical theatre
- Gospel, jazz, or R&B harmony experience
What you’ll gain
- Arranger credits on recorded and performed projects
- Your arrangements performed by live musicians
- Mentorship from producers and music directors
Where you’ll work
Las Vegas, NV, in person or remote. Remote interns need a computer with notation software or a DAW, plus reliable internet for sharing parts.
