“We are excited to welcome Joe to the Hal Leonard family as Instrumental Editor,” said Michael Sweeney, Director of Band Publications. “He brings an extensive background as a music educator, professional musician, and composer/arranger. Additionally, with his experience in the publishing industry and retail, Joe is the perfect addition to our instrumental team.”

Joe graduated in 2000 from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in Music Education. After graduation, he served as a band director and general music teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for 17 years in Pennsylvania and Florida. During his teaching years, he continued graduate studies in trombone performance and composition/arranging with Dr. Matt Niess, Denis DiBlasio, and Dr. Quincy Hilliard. Also an accomplished musician, Snyder has shared a stage with artists including Pete Townshend, Alex Brightman, Donnie Kehr, Titus Burgess, KT Tunstall, Melissa Etheridge, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick of NSYNC, among many others.

As a published composer, arranger, and orchestrator, Joe has written and orchestrated scholastic music as well as music for various touring shows and concerts. He has recently served as Publications Manager/Editor for Winger-Jones Publications and Instrumental Editor for J.W. Pepper & Son.

Joe resides in Lancaster, PA, with his wife, Janel, and their blended family of five children.

Zach Moore joins the Hal Leonard team as a choral editor, responsible for reviewing and editing music for publication.

“We’re pleased to welcome Zach to the Choral Department,” said Stacey Nordmeyer, Hal Leonard’s General Manager, Choral Publications. “He has established himself as an award-winning and sought-after composer in the choral world. This experience and his background in music education make him the perfect addition to our team.”

Zach is a composer, conductor, and speaker. He holds a bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and a master’s degree in composition from Stephen F. Austin State University, where he studied composition with Dr. Stephen Lias. Zach has received an increasing number of commissions worldwide and has served as composer in residence to the Master Singers of Eau Claire, WI. His works have been performed at TMEA, ACDA, Carnegie Hall, Taipei National Concert Hall, and many more. His first feature-length film score premiered at the Caesar Forum in Las Vegas in 2022. Zach lives in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
