ROBERT PUFF

Arranger, Orchestrator Musician & Music Notation Expert

I'm a professional music preparer* and editor, arranger, orchestrator, score
producer, music librarian and educator. I've had the privilege of working with a
number of today's top composers and celebrity performers preparing orchestral
music for everything from film scores and video games to CD recordings and
symphonic pops concerts.

My company, RPM Seattle Music Preparation, has prepared scores and parts for
over 150 feature films and video game soundtracks since 1995. My success in this
field wouldn't be possible without all the great copyists, engravers,
proofreaders and others who have worked with me over the years at RPM.

I have a number of video game and live concert performance credits as an
arranger and orchestrator.

I offer private instruction in music notation. If you are interested in learning
or improving your skills in Dorico, Finale or Sibelius notation software, I can
help you, whether you are a seasoned professional, or someone just starting to
work with music on the computer. You don't even have to live in Seattle for a
tutorial or consultation - I teach music notation and music notation software
over the phone or via Skype while we are both at our computers. I also offer
group workshops in music notation, either focused on a specific notation
program, or on the craft of music preparation itself.
Do you have a compelling question about Dorico, Finale or Sibelius? Something
that you haven't been able to find the answer to? Visit my notation blog to see
if your question has been answered before, then email me: I may post a short
tutorial.

I'm also a professional musician who plays woodwind instruments; clarinet,
soprano sax, alto sax, tin whistle and flute. My taste in music is eclectic. I
perform and recording in a wide range of styles; jazz, folk, latin, celtic,
world, blues, rock, funk and classical.

* (Music preparation or music prep is the technical term for music copying,
editing or typesetting of music (also known as "engraving"), preparing lead
sheets, chord charts, individual parts, full scores and anything else having to
do with printed music for performance, publishing or recording.)

“ Working with Robert was a pleasure. The constant changes we made, the

calm and works correctly under pressure. ”
