- Overview of the software Logic Pro X and how it is utilized in the industry.

Interactive Software Walkthrough (20 minutes)

- Demonstrate how to set up a new project specifically for TV music production.
- Briefly explain the different types of sounds available:
  - Brass
  - Strings
  - Woodwinds
  - Percussion
  - Synthetic sounds

Live Demonstration: Composing a TV Music Piece 
- Begin composing a new piece in real-time, explaining each step:
  - Selection of appropriate instruments
  - Setting up major or minor tonality depending on the mood.
  - Discuss the importance of tempo, and demonstrate adjusting the tempo to match the emotional tone.
  - Integration of unique sound effects or "surprise tools" (while still keeping the specific nature a surprise until demonstration).

Q&A and Terminology 
This will be taught throughout our time together. 

- Introduce specific terminology such as "cue," "bed," and "bumper," explaining each in the context of the demonstration and their relevance in TV music production.

I'll leave time at the end for unanswered questions. 

By actively demonstrating the creation of a music piece designed for television, students will gain real-world insights into the tools, decision-making, and creative processes utilized by professional composers in the TV industry.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
In 2011, I broke into television by composing music that framed the background of a segment on “The Dr. Oz Show.” Since then, my portfolio has expanded to include numerous placements alongside collaborations with esteemed music libraries, affording me deep insights into the industry. Beyond TV, my compositional talents also shine in the indie film arena, with one of my noteworthy projects being "Earthbound" directed by Robin Shou.

Now in October 2024, I continue to innovate and actively contribute to my field.
