 🎼 Save Your Session Before It Starts

Finally -- a Cheat Sheet

Built by composers, for composers

Professional orchestral sessions are unforgiving. Neither does the budget.

This checklist was born from the real fire — so yours doesn’t burn.

Why this exists

​Why do sessions collapse — even when your music is solid?

  • “The celli are waiting… why aren’t the parts loading?”

  • “Why is the percussionist asking about triangle articulation? I didn’t write any…”

  • “There’s no page turn between cues 7 and 8 — again?!”

  • “The conductor just asked ‘is this harp part transposed?’… my soul left my body.”

Minimal Desk Setup

This wasn’t built in theory class...But real FIRE

We made this cheat sheet after running real orchestral sessions —

the kind where one misstep costs hundreds, and you don’t get a redo.

 

It’s not just a list. It’s survival.

It’s peace of mind, page by page, stand by stand.

So your music can soar, not sink.

And what happened?

“I’ve worked in studios for 10 years. This is the first time I’ve seen a checklist that actually understands the chaos.”
— Aolin, main composer of the Apple Store best-selling game Honkai: Star Rail 
Paper And Pencil

Respect your score. Respect your players.
And your sanity.

You don’t need to suffer through logistics.

You need to create.

This isn’t about making you more efficient.

It’s about protecting the music, and yourself.
