NEW MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
​
​
​
'If you're writing a new musical then I, along with my colleague Adam Lenson, would love to help.'
​
Tamara and Adam co-founded the SIGNAL concert series and for the last several years have been working, together and independently, on the development of new musicals. They regularly consult on works of varying scale and in all stages of development.
​
Between them they can offer the expertise and objective perspective needed to develop all the elements of your piece. They can
work separately or together depending on the specific needs of the project.

"There is a huge amount of vital work that can be done on a score before the costs of workshop or production are involved. Enlisting early musical support means that the relationship between music and book can be strengthened, the piece can be made more cohesive, and the music can be prepared and troubleshooted, ready to be explored by performers."

Song structure, orchestrations, arrangement style
