Description

** UDEMY BESTSELLER **Welcome to the COMPLETE Music COMPOSITION Guide!This class series has been designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest) and develop it into something more. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, this class is perfect for you.When most people think of a composer, they imagine someone sitting in a dusty attic with a grand piano, a big white wig, and the year is 1800. That might have been accurate back then, but the modern composer is just like you and me. In fact, I am one. In this course, I'll show you the techniques I use for writing music in a variety of styles and situations. I've worked with major American orchestras, film studios, and video game designers, so I've got more than a little experience. I'm also a Ph.D. in music composition and a university professor (of music composition). Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundation's Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes. Now I'm taking those classes to Udemy in an online format in order to reach more students and give them the joy of Music Composition.This class is Part 1 and Part 2 combined into a single class.In this class, we will cover:My background, and listen to some of my musicThe difference between music theory and music composition (highly opinionated!)Tools of the trade: SoftwareTools of the trade: Pencils and fine paperHow do you start?The processProgram music and metaphorsCharacter sketchesWriting through canonFormBinary, Ternary, and Rondo formsStarting with a planGraphic form representationsTriads, and basic rules of harmonyChord progressionsInversionsSong analysisMelody writingPrincipals of OrchestrationWhat Music Theory do we need to know?To use a keyboard or not use a keyboard?I'll include some sheet music for free!And much, much, more!
