WHAT'S INSIDE
I'M A COMPOSER?

In this course, you'll find all you need to start composing FILM/MEDIA music.

First I'll explain to you how to compose in that style. (ie. fantasy, horror, suspense, adventure, etc). You'll learn:

  • Typical harmonic patterns
  • Melodic characteristics
  • Common tempo and rhythm
  • Specific orchestral textures

Second I'll compose LIVE in front of you so you can see how I build a cue step-by-step. These are NO track walkthroughs, these are actual tracks built live from beginning to end.

We repeat this process, style by style. These are the 15 styles you'll learn:

Week 1- Love, Sadness, Dark Suspense, Mystery, Tension.

Week 2- Action Mid Intensity, Action High Intensity, Magic, Fantasy

Week 3- Adventure Hero, Adventure Villain, Romantic Comedy, Dark Comedy

Before the course, I was impressed with the way Marc explained things. This impression grew even more as I progressed through the course. I learned a lot about composing for media, workflow and ways to increase my production speed. This has inspired me in so many ways. I am looking forward to getting through the other courses!
Kris Saebo
Kris Saebo Composer (USA)
I am a Juilliard (bachelors & masters) graduate and have taken film scoring courses in the past. Marc Jovani's Cinematic Composing courses are extremely well organized, very detailed, and thorough. His technique of instruction shows very clearly how to approach composing for media, organizing your work-flow, and offers secrets into the process - all in a very down-to-earth way. The course also offers advice outside the modules utilizing the robust community with regular virtual meetings, which cover a wide range of related topics and answer specific questions.

I am happy to be a part of the community. Thank you Marc!

Student testimonial about course flexibility
I'm using ________ (name any sequencer here). Can I still take the course?

Marc uses Cubase. But, all the concepts that you'll learn apply across the board, no matter what sequencer you use. In fact, more than a 1/2 of our students are Logic users.

The same concept about plugins. You can learn and apply all the concepts taught in the course using any basic plugins. Once you're in the course, you'll have a better idea of what is the next plugin that you wanna buy. Plus, you'll be around a great community of composers who already own those plugins and can give you valuable feedback or advice what library to invest in next.

Also, when you join Mixing for Composers you'll get access to a private Facebook group. The Facebook group is a great place to ask questions if you get stuck. That's where you're really going to get a lot of extra help and encouragement when you're stuck or when you're trying to apply the concepts learned in the course to your own DAW, both from Dennis and from other composers who can speak to your exact issues.

Do I need to buy any plugin before taking this course?

Read the answer to the last question 👆

Also, once you enroll in this course, you can get access to discounts on many sample libraries and plugins! Just ask for a certificate of enrollment once you're in.

This course will pay for itself with the amount of money you'll save from the educational discounts you'll get! ;)

Is this course only in English?

Yes. The contents of this course are only in English at the moment.

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You'll have access to the course materials for life.

Do I need a Mac to take this course? What type of computer do I need?

You don not need a Mac for this course. Marc uses a PC. Half of our Cinematic Composing students are Mac, the other half are PC.

Any computer, desktop or laptop, with an i5 or similar (i7 desired), 4-8Gb of RAM (16 desired), and 150Gb of free HDD storage for samples (SSD desired) will be enough to get you started. You can always upgrade later.

How is the course built? And is there some kind of certificate we receive at the end?

The course consists of video lessons. At the end of the course, you'll get a certificate of completion.

Do you have a refund policy?

Yes. We are giving you a full 7 DAYS to go through the training, implement what you learn, and watch your production skills begin to grow.

If you reach out within 7 days to show us that you haven't seen any progress, then we'll be happy to return the investment.
