CUSTOM PIANO SHEET MUSIC FOR PRIVATE TEACHERS
When a student asks, “Can I learn this song?” you can say yes.
I create clean, playable arrangements around the student in front of you—so the music they love can become music they are ready to learn.
REQUEST A STUDENT ARRANGEMENT →Send the song and a few details. You receive a clear recommendation, quote, and date before work begins.
THE PROBLEM IS FAMILIAR
A student is excited about a song.
The available version is not a fit.
Too difficult. The notes might be right, but the piece makes the student feel behind.
Too easy. It leaves out everything they recognize and love.
Wrong for the player. Wrong key. Wrong range. Wrong instrument. Wrong moment.
You could rewrite it yourself. Or you could keep your evening for teaching.
THE STUDENT EDITION
The version you wish existed.
Tell me what the student plays now, what comes easily, what they are working toward, and what makes this particular song worth learning. I will preserve the musical identity while making deliberate choices about playability.
- Difficulty, rhythm, and technique
- Key, range, and hand comfort
- Length, structure, and recital cuts
- Optional accompaniment or duet parts

WHY A HUMAN ARRANGER
A careful ear. A teacher’s question.
Jacob is a musician, arranger, transcriber, and teacher. The work is not merely identifying notes from a recording. It is deciding what belongs in this student’s hands now—and what should wait.

QUESTIONS TEACHERS ASK
What if I am not sure what level to request?
Tell me what the student has been playing, what is comfortable, and what they are working toward. That is usually better information than a grade label.
Can a parent pay directly?
That can be arranged after the project scope is confirmed.
Can you arrange any song?
Original and public-domain material are straightforward. For copyrighted music, Jacob confirms what is possible for the specific title before accepting a project.
HAVE A STUDENT ASKING FOR SOMETHING RIGHT NOW?
Let’s make it playable.
Send the song and a few details. You will know what is possible, what it costs, and when it can be ready before you commit.
