I'm Dale Trumbore, a composer and writer based in Southern California. My last name rhymes with "drum" and "door."

​

These are my most newest choral works. This is my favorite piece I've written.

 

I often write about working through creative challenges. 

 

My first book, Staying Composed: Overcoming Anxiety and Self-Doubt Within a Creative Life, has been called "a treasure trove of practical strategies for moving your artistic career forward" and is also available as an audiobook. ​

 

My second book, coauthored with Brandon Elliott, is newly available from Oxford University Press. Composing a Living: a Music Creator's Guide to Money, Relationships and Business can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and OUP.
