This guide gives you a clear game plan to write in a wide range of Hollywood styles—action, horror, romance, and more. We've broken down each style step by step so you can follow it easily. It also includes 6 transcribed, reduced, and analyzed scores from some of the top film composers: I, Robot (Marco Beltrami), The Mummy Returns (Alan Silvestri), The Omen (Marco Beltrami), Hellboy II (Danny Elfman), Chicken Run (John Powell), and X-Men (John Powell). These are the same scores we used to create the Composing Recipes PDF. So if you want to go deeper and learn straight from the source—this is for you.

Questions people asked

  • Who teaches?

    Dirk. Marc presents the program in the video; the classes are Dirk's.

  • When does it start?

    Two groups: the first week of November, and the first week of February. You pick your group inside the program's room after you join — nothing to choose at checkout. The exact first-class dates are published in the room.

  • What happens in a class?

    Dirk reviews participants' music live, in a small group. Twice a week, for three months. You upload your music before class.

  • Is Composer Assistant included?

    No. This is the teaching program on its own.

  • Are the courses or the libraries included?

    The I'm a Composer course is — as a week-by-week path, recommended, never required. The other courses and the libraries are not: the Cinematic Template is offered at checkout; all courses, and all MIDI packs + libraries, right after payment.

  • Is there a payment plan?

    No. $370.

  • I don't have time right now.

    Pick the February group. Same classes, same teacher.

  • Can I watch the classes later?

    Yes — class replays are in the program's room.

  • What if it isn't for me?
