Abstract: The following paper addresses the steps that an arranger takes when beginning a new project. An arranger has to first research the history of the composer in order to have a better understanding of the composer's style, of the composer's feelings while composing, and perhaps his reasons for writing a particular composition. Secondly, the arranger must study the actual music to decide what instruments to use, and where to use them. Also, an arranger has to consider the level of musicians that are to perform the music. The last point that this paper addresses is the music educator as an arranger; the reasons why an educator should arrange, and the types of arrangements an educator will usually write.
