As a pop musician, one of the problems I can see having with collaborating with an orchestra is that, like many musicians, I'm self-taught.  The idea of translating ideas and compositions to orchestral scores may seem impossible or unfamiliar to many self-taught musicians. 

Fortunately, I use computers to sequence and compose, the software will allow me to translate music into a normal musical sheet music.  However, many musicians (guitarists using entablature or no written score at all, for example) would find the process of getting their music to sheet music unsurmountable.  For that reason they may not often try to reach out to areas of music that require working from scores.

Looking forward to TBA!
