"ADD-ONS"
- ADDITIONAL ORCHESTRATION/ARRANGING ($20-25/hour): |
| horns, strings &
other ochestrationTRANSCRIPTION & REDUCTION parts (from the original
recording) |

|
|
| lead sheet/lead line |
$25/hour (repertoire & library updates of pre-existing parts only $20/hour) |
|
lead lines
are USUALLY prominent in recordings & easily interpreted by lead singers
- however, some accompanists prefer to have the leadline as a guide along
with sectional headers - unfortunately notating & formatting leadlines
is time-consuming & requires added fees - usually about an hour
Tamara DOES provide textual leadline (text inserted & positioned with the music) at NO ADDITIONAL COST in all new charts & adds it to repertoire charts as time allows. |
| Factors which may
contribute to additional prep time:
*Instrumentals
*A cappella
*Medleys ($50 per song in the medley seems to be a typical average)
*Fast-moving notation (swing, salsa, etc.)
*Layered vocals (Point Of Grace, Avalon, 4Him, etc.)
*Longer than radio play (anything over 4 minutes or more than 85 measures)
*Progressive movements (no repeat sections, modulations, varied tempos/time
signatures, etc.)
*Funky, bass-driven or notation-driven songs (latin rhythms, etc)
*Anything that is NOT typical/basic: lead + BGVs + rhythm band (Verse-Chorus-Vs-Ch-Bridge-Ch-Ch) |
$25/hour (repertoire & library updates of pre-existing parts only $20/hour) |

*PLEASE
READ! (updated 8/4/2006)...
All quoted fees are GUIDELINES to help you budget.
All fees are based
on a basic hourly rate:
$20/hour repertoire & library songs
$25/hour archive & new songs, specialty songs (acappella, instrumentals,
medleys, etc.)
Tamara is paid for a SERVICE - not a "product."
A "typical" new song requires an average of approximately
3 hours to complete from start to finish (1 minute audio = 1 hour's work).
Exceptions include songs falling out of the "norm."
In these instances, there might be a call for hourly fees over the basic
fees. Some examples would be songs over 4 minutes in play length (or over
85 measures), medleys, complicated rhythmic/chord structures, instrumentals,
cantatas, acappellas, group lead vocals (e.g. 4Him, Avalon, Point Of Grace,
various artists compilations, etc.).
Please contact me if ANY questions!
Thanx! - Tamara
