What is Hoopla Music?

Hoopla music is a place to find classic tunes, loving arranged.

What makes this different from other places?

If you an individual musician looking for solo music, or a teacher or conductor looking for music for their students, you will know that good and imaginative arrangements are expensive to buy and even then may not be perfect for your needs.

Though there are places that offer cheap alternatives, sifting though them is time-consuming and the offerings bland, uninspired or badly written for a particular instrument, not to mention poorly typeset. 

Hoopla offers arrangements made with love, care and the highest professional attention. We also provide support to help ensure an arrangement can work with your players.

We offer this at a fair price that grants access to the complete collection for one year. 

What does 'lovingly arranged' mean?

It means that every piece is carefully thought through, fully developed and often given an extra new ‘twist.’ For example, if you wanted to play ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas,’ we do carry the traditional version of it, since we know this can be useful.

But we much prefer, and think you will too, our version with a Jazzy twist, ‘We Wish You a Jazzy Christmas’: 

Like most of our pieces, it is available in multiple arrangements (new versions can be requested by members):

Our version of The Star Spangled Banner brings out the full brassy splendour of this brilliant patriot melody: 

Or how about ‘Away in a Manger’ with a hint of the Wild West:

Or our Mozart (via blues, funk, rock and boogie boogie) -inspired ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Pop Variations’:

So much to choose from

Hoopla has music available for patriotic occasions, for Easter, for birthdays, Halloween and many other times. There are also collections arranged by country of origin. It’s also possible to search by mood, difficulty and genres such as ‘Latin’, ‘Classical’ and ‘Jazz’.

Most of these are available in multiple versions, from solo instrument, to ensembles small and large.

And that is not all

For specific occasions we carry more standard versions of pieces, for example when you do need a classic hymn or carol. We make these available in flexible arrangements that can be used by almost any combination of players. 

We also have fun original pieces, for example a collection inspired by the History of Powered Flight, such as the groovy Afterburner:
