The more you will arrange the better you will become. Never give up and be self confident!

It takes a little longer, but if you learn chords and chord progressions arranging is a lot easier.

[Shadoninja]

know as much about the instrument you're arranging for. you don't have to be able to play it or be good at it, but know it's limitations, it's strong points, it's weak points, and such.
