Orchestral Arranging and Composition

“I’ve been blessed to have had Wayne Senior do a few arrangements for me to use in concerts. The man has a harmonic gift and a clever mind to  go with it. His charts have been some of my all-time favorites to play!”

Wayne is an extremely versatile arranger and composer with an immense body of work covering a wide range of genres.  His experience is legendary and he knows how to innovate and transform while staying true to the underlying intent and purpose of the music.  Always a gentleman, Wayne’s enthusiasm and encouraging attitude make any musical project or situation a pleasure.

Wayne Senior is one of New Zealand's foremost jazz and popular music arranger / composers, with an accomplished and unique sound, style and approach. While his substantial output spans decades, Wayne is not only incredibly passionate about music creation; he is just as passionate about ensuring generations of musicians care about quality music through his teaching and mentoring. I hold Wayne in high regard, seeking his advice on many musical projects and for my Masters (music composition) study, where he ALWAYS exuded delight in passing on his (considerable) knowledge. New Zealand is lucky to have him!!
