A music coordinator works with the composer or songwriter to establish an accurate and realistic budget, and manage the music creation and recording processes to make sure the budget is maintained and followed.
While much of the work of a music coordinator involves working with budgets and numbers, music coordinators can also work with contractors to make sure the appropriate number and type of musicians are hired for a project, and can assist with musicians' union contracts and arrangements.
Music coordinators can also be very helpful in recommending payroll services, and making good matches between composers and orchestrators, arrangers, scoring mixers, and other parts of the music production team.
