Instrumental combinations that work

Includes all recipes, videos, Chef’s Notes, recordings, scores & PDFs in the Volume 1 collection.

This collection is drawn largely from classical sources, and provides a core go-to of effective instrumental combinations.

Video for quick walkthrough

Written guide for detail

Go deeper: PDF desk reference gives detailed notes for every step. Keep it handy as a cheat sheet as you compose.

Scores for reference
Reverse engineer: concert pitch scores lay bare every note—for study, mockups, or checking transcriptions.

MIDI for your own experiments

Learn by tinkering: import straight to your DAW or notation program. Cubase, Logic Pro, Studio One, Dorico, Sibelius, StaffPad, Musescore…. whatever you use.

Inspiration for whatever library you have
