Learners will study the basics of film score composition, including which instruments usually communicate different emotions, the distinction between melody and harmony, how to follow the action in the movie, and orchestration, or arranging their music for a variety of instruments. By the end of the course, learners will be able to open, load, and edit instruments in either GarageBand or ProTools Intro, write music that lines up with the movie, and put their music into a movie!

I earned a Bachelor of Music Composition for Film, TV, and Games from Berklee College of Music and am a professional film score composer.

提供的家庭作業
There are five assignments over this six-week course, all of which should be submitted through the "Teacher" tab in the classroom. With approval from me (I'll check to make sure I can hear their audio and that only appropriate sounds are recorded in their project), learners are welcome to share their final project with their classmates during the sixth class! Beginning and experienced musicians alike will be encouraged to share their compositions with their classmates!

Assignment details: 

After Class One, the assignment is to record and export a melody in either GarageBand or ProTools Intro and upload it to me.

After Class Two assignment is to add harmony to the melody from Class One.

After Class Three, the assignment is to pick a final project video and write a melody for it. We will watch the videos in class, and I will post them in the classroom after our meeting.

After Class Four, the assignment is to write a harmony for the final project melody and orchestrate both the melody and harmony.

After Class Five, the assignment is to finish writing and editing their own musical score.
