You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for a professional studio or degree to learn to score soundtracks.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to compose music for soundtracks no matter what level of technical skill or musical background.
  • Musicians and composers who want to see how music theory can actually be applied in real life scenarios. This is not a course about memorizing random music theory, its a course about inventing music for the practical professional.
  • Film Directors and Game Designers who want to understand how music composers can enhance their productions and/or do it themselves.
