Who You're Working With

A bit about Mim.

If you'd like to see who I am as an artist, check out my website for upcoming gigs and links to my music.

I'm a New York-based vocalist, composer, arranger and educator from Adelaide, South Australia. I have over 25 years of experience with music notation software, writing for my own projects and collaborators as well as for students and ensembles. Spending thirteen years as Director of Voice at Princes Hill Secondary College in Melbourne, I produced hundreds of charts, arrangements and transcriptions — and learned early on that a clear chart meant a smoother rehearsal, less time wasted, and better results.

Now based in New York, I work as a freelance music preparation specialist alongside my own performing, composing and arranging. I've had the privilege of working with some remarkable artists and organisations, including:

  • Peter Eldridge of the New York Voices
  • Lauren Kinhan of the New York Voices
  • Theo Bleckmann, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist
  • Kate McGarry, jazz singer and songwriter
  • Caroline Davis, saxophonist
  • The Westerlies brass quartet
  • New York Stage & Film
  • MCC Theater

Whatever the genre or instrumentation — vocal lead sheets, big band scores, string quartets — I really enjoy helping people get their ideas from their brains and their ears to the page in the clearest way possible.
