Jonathan Preiss trained in classical and jazz guitar at Leeds College of Music, and in classical guitar and composition at Trinity College of Music, London.

As copyist and arranger Jonathan has worked on a number of major projects for both publication and live performance.

Jonathan's experience in music preparation, copying, arranging and orchestrating for live performance includes work for major artists including the British Philharmonic Orchestra and Michael Ball, and for events including the BBC Proms and Hampton Court Festival.
