No prior music background is required for this course. This course will cover from complete beginner all the way to advanced techniques.

You just need a desire to create, experiment, and find joy in making music. It’s now possible to learn all the tricks and tools to become a soundtrack composer from the comfort of your own home. You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for a professional studio or degree to learn to score soundtracks. Everything you need can be done from home on your computer and this course will show you how.


Have fun, experiment, and make lots of music. See you inside!

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.
