Back in time – the early stuff
Meet Sean Fitzgerald, NoteMeister Music’s founder and in-house arranger/producer.
Sean played the violin for a short time as a youngster, but his first and enduring love was for the piano.
He studied music, music technology, and music education at university, and taught music both privately and in schools for a number of years.
Then came a shift into the media industry and full-time employment in content production at Belfast-based radio station, U105.
And, for a time, music became a part-time endeavour.
2009 – paths converge
A fortunate meeting at a U105 outside broadcast event sparked a 12-year creative partnership with Marie Lacey, director of Belfast Community Gospel Choir (BCGC).
During this period, Sean helped fulfil the director’s inspired creative vision as:
- accompanist – alongside percussionist, Nicky McWilliams – for hundreds of rehearsals and performances on both sides of the Atlantic;
- musical director for events drafting in additional band members; and
- arranger on specified projects.
The BCGC years also spawned Sono Caelo, a collaborative project with the hugely talented singer, violinist, and choir director, Clare Galway.
Together they selected songs from popular music to craft unique arrangements for voice, or violin, and piano.
2019 – the pandemic years
By the end of 2019, Sean recognised it was once again time to fulfil the purpose of his musical gift by working as a musician on a full-time basis.
The restrictions to live music that arrived with the Covid-19 pandemic were also the impetus for the creation of NoteMeister Music’s online services.
Enforced periods at home created time and space to explore the principles and tools that now allow NoteMeister Music to deliver a high quality service to creative professionals around the world.
Today – the start of your new musical adventure?
Thanks to NoteMeister Music, you can now work with Sean and the team to develop musical assets for your creative projects, wherever you are!
We want to help as many people as we can put the required spin on their music. But we don’t hurriedly churn the work out at NoteMeister.
