New bonus content included
Welcome to my course Film, TV, & Video Game Music Composition + Production Basics. Back in 2016, this was my first experience publishing a course on Udemy and it quickly became a Best-Selling course. Don't take my word for it – read the reviews for yourself...
===========================
When I first ordered this course, I honestly thought I was going to get a lot of the same things I knew about composition work...What Steven did here blows my expectations out of the water. He gives a lot of advanced music theory techniques, as well as detailed help on how to use your DAW, and he keeps you on your toes with some of these quizzes. Especially after you get half way through the course. I don't regret the money I paid for this course at all, and I'm glad that I have this course to reference when I'm in a bit of a pickle with my own goals. –Monish C.
Absolutely phenomenal course! All the lectures go into great depth on the lesson topic and explain it clearly. Thanks for the awesome course Steven! –Kenan B.
This course seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. Steven is taking every facet of the craft and business of modern composing into account and teaching at the perfect pace - the videos are not too long, but are jam packed with great info. – Andrew C.
===========================
In this updated 2020 version, I’ve removed content that is no longer relevant and have added hours of bonus content to tackle more intermediate & advanced topics including:
How to train for professional composing speed
How to build DAW templates
How to create a realistic sampled orchestra
How to earn your first dollars
How to grow a music business from scratch
The bulk of the core content that originally made this course so successful is still here and will teach you all the fundamentals you need to write music for film, TV, & video games. The only prerequisite for this course is that you have access to a Mac or PC. We will be using notation software and a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to write music on a computer, but don’t worry if you don’t have any music software yet. There are multiple free options available and we’ll cover those as needed throughout the course.
I look forward to connecting with you inside. Talk to you soon.
Your Coach,
Steven Melin
