I began composing, transcribing, and arranging music at an early age for community, and school ensembles. I am currently working on arrangements of jazz standards for string orchestra at all levels. (See Current Projects)These string ensemble and choral arrangements are available for the public to try, with feedback as the only request in return. To do so, please contact me here. jonathan@jonathanglawe.org Thank you!

All levels are loosely based on the Required Music List for Orchestra, Kansas
