DIRK'S WORK

(... music and praise...)

“Dirk has a wealth of first hand experience as a career production musician, and he’s also a methodical and thorough instructor. I’ve benefited immensely from the generous way he shares his knowledge, and my tracks have shown dramatic improvement as a direct result. His Production Music Course distills a ton of knowledge in the form of talks and session walkthrough videos that are easy to follow and well structured. For anyone interested in starting out in production music, this is a must have resource!"

Tim Ebling, Composer

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much of the course is Music and how much Business

65% music (composition) / 35% Business. In regards to Business: inside the course, you'll find everything you need to succeed. The reason why there's a bigger percentage of music training is because it takes longer to learn that skill than the business.

The course is designed so you learn both skills at the level that's needed to succeed on your journey as a composer in the field of Production Music.

What's the difference between this course and the one Dirk sold on his website

The Walkthroughs are pretty much the same (with some additions). The Live Composing videos are new.

If you own Dirk's course already, don't buy it again. All improvements and upgrades have been added to you automatically.

If you do NOT own Dirk's course, buy it here during Early Bird. You'll get more content at a lower price.

How does this Early Bird Launch work?

1. Doors open for just three days (from Tuesday 20th at 9 AM PST to Thursday 22nd at 11:59 PM PST). Then they’ll close. We do this to work directly with the Early Birders for a few days before we open to the public again.

2. People who have joined the Early Bird list and buy the course will get this special bonus: Advanced Trailer Writing and Mixing. This is a set of exclusive classes that Dirk did for the Momentum group and it’s not covered in the course.

3. For the first 30 people who buy → Music feedback (review) from Dirk. You’ll be composing some music and Dirk will review your cue.

4. For the first 100 who buy → Closed group class with Dirk. After a few weeks to start the course, Dirk will sit down with you to guide you and answer your questions.
