'FOR HIRE' fee options:

1. Flat Fee: a flat fee will be subject to limits on work hours/time spent composing, editing, mixing & mastering as well as the length of the final product. An approximate length of the project, give or take a minute or two, is required beforehand.

2. By the Hour: a fair hourly rate agreed upon by both parties; dependent upon your budget, the project description and a system of tracking working hours; 'by the hour' includes all the work hours to compose, edit, mix and master.

3. Rate per minute of composed music: Each minute of composed music includes the editing/mixing/mastering; a fair rate agreed upon by both parties. This is typically a higher rate than 'by the hour' due to the 'rate per minute' being all-inclusive regarding editing/mixing/mastering. An approximate length of the project, give or take a minute or two, is required beforehand.

Additional work hours/time such as attending rehearsals, tech. and/or dress rehearsals including travel to and from will be negotiated and agreed upon by both parties.
