I feel we have a solid lock on the music and this show has a great audience appeal. I have never had so many people compliment the music! I appreciate all the work you did on this piece of music (Cirque Macabre), it is awesome!

As every band director knows, one of the greatest challenges in having a successful marching season is finding music that fits the band and an arranger that can enhance the strengths of the ensemble. Jair provides quality arrangements that are innovative and written to showcase the strengths of my band. He has provided me with arrangements in a very timely manner and has always answered my many questions concerning the music portion of our shows. Over the past few years, we have been a three time 3A State Marching Contest Qualifier and we have been named champions at several non – uil contest. A lot of our success can be attributed to the wonderful arranging skills that he provides. I highly recommend him.

We were very pleased with the quality of music that Mr. Klarfeld wrote for our band. He was very helpful and informative through the entire process. He listened to what we were wanting to accomplish with our show. If you are looking for a composer who cares and is passionate about his work I would highly recommend using his skills for your next show.

Jair’s arrangements are well written and well thought out for high school musicians. As both a band director and drill writer, I appreciate the careful preparation that goes into his arrangements. It is easy to hear that his music is prepared to help the band sound and look great! I recommend Jair as both a great arranger and colleague.

Working with Jair Klarfeld has been a large contributor to our progress. As a new head band director, I felt comfortable that Jair had my and my students’ best interests in mind as we collaborated on the marching show. Jair had great suggestions for our show, and wrote what our staff had envisioned.

Jair Klarfeld’s arrangements are smart. He blends musical ideas that challenge the students’ musicianship, involve the wider public audience, and achieve the teaching and entertaining goals so important to a performance. Jair also has a flair for clever thematic development that stirs the imagination of the competitive audience.
