Tim Rohwer: Composer

I recently did an arrangement for my orchestra students of "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.  I've put a lot of work into making the arrangements I use for my class useful but accessible.  I feel that this arrangement works really well, and I'm excited to see it performed by my class. We've been rehearsing it to get it ready for our next gig which will be a recording session.  I'm excited to see how it goes! For my class, I've been trying to get every piece we're playing recorded so that all of the students have the capability to hear the piece performed.  Here is the recording for my string quartet arrangement of "Radioactive:" The sheet music is also available for purchase at sheetmusicplus.com: Radioactive I'm going to continue doing different arrangements for my orchestra group each semester, so let me know if there's something that you'd like me to arrange for string orchestra!

I have been putting together some arrangements for my students in the Summer, and for the orchestra class I've put together a string quartet arrangement of The Infernal Galop, commonly known as the Can-Can, by Offenbach.  All of the parts are put together, and we should be playing it for summer time.  I also put together a recording of it so that my students can have something that they can listen to in preparation, and here it is: The Infernal Galop (Can-Can) by Jacques Offenbach As I put together more arrangements I hope to keep putting recordings and eventually make the parts and scores available to by for any string teachers who might be interested.  Other arrangements soon to be put up here: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Garland Waltz, also by Tchaikovsky (I have a student who loves Tchaikovsky) I also put together a violin solo with piano accompaniment of the Garland Waltz that is a little longer than the string quartet arrang...

I recently started teaching an orchestra class, and I put together an arrangement of Vivaldi's Spring (1st Movement) from The Four Seasons.  It was very successful, and the kids in the class did a great job with it.  I decided to get it recorded, and so recorded myself performing each of the parts, mixed them all together and got the following result: Spring 1st Movement for Beginning String Orchestra This is also one of my first forays into recording.  I did some recording with a friend in college and for a music technology class, but going through the whole process myself was a good experience. Soon, I am hoping to edit the parts and make this arrangement available for purchase, as well as some  others that I have been doing for my class.
