Definition of Occupation

Write and transcribe musical scores. Arrangers transcribe and adapt musical compositions to a particular style for orchestras, bands, choral groups, or individuals. Components of music-including tempo, volume, and the mix of instruments needed-are arranged to express the composer's message. While some arrangers write directly into a musical composition, others use computer software to make changes. They often gain their reputation or professional standing in a particular kind of music or performance.
