Course Description
Welcome to a new amazing adventure, where you will explore the wonderful world of magical fantasy music. Music that will take you into a world of dreams and wonders, full of nostalgic vibes, peaceful sounds and sweet emotions.
The atmosphere of magical fantasy music is truly special. It's not powerful, epic, or full of dramatic action. Instead, it's soft, peaceful, and dreamy – a world of magic. Magical fantasy music covers a wide range of emotions and feelings. From sweet and romantic, to mysterious and magical, to dreamy and divine.
As a music composer, you are a storyteller of music, a creator of sound landscapes, and a designer of atmosphere and emotion. And this masterclass will give you the knowledge and power to compose, craft and shape amazing stories in the style of magical fantasy music.
My name is Mikael Baggström, but you can call me Mike. I am a composer, musician and sound designer from Sweden. I started making music in the late 90s, mainly in various electronic music styles. But even back then, I had this big dream to one day be able to create: cinematic music. Why? Because I had fallen in love with the expressive and emotional power of soundtrack music.
I grew up listening to amazing movie scores by John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, James Horner, and all the great film composers. I also fell in love with video game soundtracks like Baldur’s Gate, Heroes of Might & Magic, Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft and many more.
I created this masterclass, because I would have loved to have it in the start of my own journey in music. You to learn everything you need in order to create, shape and master magical fantasy music. And to compose music in this style that sounds beautiful, expressive and full of depth and emotion.
If this sounds exciting to you, I invite you to start your journey today. My name is Mike, and this is my Magical Fantasy Music Masterclass. Are you ready to begin your adventure?

It's been a great course for me, because I wanted to get into making these types of music for a while and I didn't know where to start. I don't know much about music theory, I went through a lot of tutorials and try my best to understand it but for some reason, I'm finding it a bit difficult. Grateful if you could share any learning materials that would make me understand it more easily (Keys, chords, etc).

Excellent class. I have taken a lot of courses by Mike and I think this one might be my favorite. Packed with great practical examples as usual, but with the addition of actual world instruments was awesome. I loved it. Mike always goes into detail on how to create these incredible soundscapes.

I am quite disappointed with this course. Based on the description, I had high expectations, but it appears to be aimed at an intermediate level rather than the advanced content I was looking for. The material feels quite basic and rudimentary, which does not justify the cost. I feel that my investment has not been well spent on this content. I kindly request that Udemy review this course and ensure that it meets the expected quality standards to prevent such dissatisfaction and potential financial loss for future students.

This course was everything I was hoping for and much more. The musical and technical information were exactly what I needed and the presentation was clear and engaging.

Great course about creating music for Magical Fantasy Music to begin exploring and experimenting in this genre
By Peter Clapperton on 1/15/2024
A full, explanatory course on creating the elements of Magical Fantasy Music. I thoroughly enjoy Mike's course - his enthusiasm and passion for music can be seen and heard throughout and can be quite infectious...!
By Rick Long on 12/19/2023
The instructor breaks down the elements present in this style of music and presents them in a very enjoyable way.
By Alex K Smith on 10/19/2023
Thought provoking exercises about fantasy music structure, clear beautiful examples, fun new instruments (chalemeau), and it's FANTASY (feels good - everyone loves harps and bells).
By Jeff Windsor on 9/22/2023
Excellent class! I learned so much and will have to go back through it to take more notes. Mikael's enthusiasm and knowledge is inspiring!
By Dori Seider on 9/10/2023
This course is exciting, unique and taught with perfect details. Mike makes every musical idea easy to understand and implement. Examples are precise and inspiring at the same time. Mike’s teaching abilities have reached a higher level, even though, having taken so many courses with him, I didn’t even think this was possible. This musical style is so beautiful, and the course meticulously shows how to respect the beauty
