Epic Ostinatos in Cinematic Music (Udemy.com)

While the material was informative about Ostinatos it did not really do much in the way of practical exercises on each type, analyses of different ostinatos or really do much that would facilitate creating ostinatos.

It would be nice to have an "exercise or two" with instructions (Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion). Why? So I can practice the exercise (repetition deepens the Impression). Just a few simple exercises, nothing too deep that fits any DAW.

I loved this course. I could immediately apply the well-structured concepts Mickael presented, and I especially loved the track breakdowns in the last part of the course. So many things just clicked while doing the course, and I have many extra ideas I can apply to my compositions. I very much look forward to taking another one of Mikael's courses.

Another fantastic course from Mike. Explanations and demonstrations are excellent. My one suggestion is to have a section that shows the ostinato's actually being built - the sound design course has this feature. However, this is a great little course. Thanks Mike.

Very definitive with the description of categories. This helps to simplify and make the concepts more relatable and understandable, allowing us to know when to use certain ideas for an intro, verse, chorus, bridge or solo.

The instructor is methodical in teaching ostinatos. I learned clear foundational tools in music. And the instructor provided instructions to create my own ostinatos in my DAW, further cementing my knowledge and understanding of the material. This instructor is everything I've ever wanted from a musical senpai. I 100% recommend.

This is my third course with Mikael. The reason I return is because he is able to demonstrate what he is teaching, with sample music he has composed, and live-action techniques. While brief and straight-forward, Mikael keeps lessons fun, relevant, and interesting, even when returned to. Mikael's enthusiasm and friendliness is also a lesson in how to approach one's own music, techniques, technology, and work-flow. Thanks, Mikael, for offering tremendous value.

I love this course! Mike is an excellent instructor and he obviously put a lot of time and effort into preparing and recording it, and is highly knowledgable and practical with the topic. I had a basic knowledge of ostinatos before the course, but it greatly expanded my understanding in a way that will have an immediate, significant impact on my music. I took many pages of notes that will serve as a reference guide while composing and arranging. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents, Mike!

Excellent. Highly recommended. Been waiting for an in depth ostinato course! This is one of my favorite composition courses. My ostinatos always sounded thin, and this course really helps me understand how to get a much richer sound. Instead of just giving a couple typical ostinato patterns, like many tutorials, this course goes in depth on many different approaches and styles. Ostinato sections in other courses have been hard for me to follow as they don't usually break down exactly what is happening. But the instructor gives complete step by step instructions and explanations.

This course is perfect for anyone wishing to expand their music toolbox, and sound more professional and polished. Many great sounding examples that Mike breaks down into their elements so you know exactly how to get that professional sound. Highly recommended.
