Master Emotional Music
What is Emotional Music?
Let’s first define what emotional music is, because of course all music has emotion. By emotional music, I am referring to music that has that spark of beauty often connected to feelings of sadness, tragedy, longing, hope etc. Emotions that go deep and will make you feel the music in your heart and soul.
Emotional music, like all styles of music, comes in many different shapes and flavors. In truth, you have unlimited choices and flexibility as a composer to create whatever style of emotional music you want. However, in the next videos you will get practical tips, guidelines and examples of some of the most common styles of emotional music.
My name is Mike, and I am a composer.
Just. Like. You. =)
I started making music back in 1998. And I love to educate, motivate, and inspire creative people, like yourself.
So I ask you again. Are you ready to learn and master how to compose emotional music in any style you want. If your answer is yes. Take action, and begin your adventure, right now!

No mention of the chords used. Intimate & Soft yes, but also sad and Malinconico. Would if sound different if major chords were used?

I like Mikal’s videos. He has a lot of excellent information but I think the secret is to apply it on your own. No course will do it for you, you Gotta do it yourself. I only say that to remind myself.
By Dori Seider on 8/12/2022
Above expectations. I knew this course would be excellent, like all of Mike’s courses. I didn’t know how much I would learn about specific types of emotional music, and how to incorporate all of the elements, like con Sordino strings, woodwinds, ambient pads, etc. This course is beyond excellent.

Lustige Wörter unten im Textband. Bei einem Profi hätte ich erwartet, das das nicht so veröffentlich wird. Es fehlen die die eigentlichen Inhalte zum Lernen, statt dessen werden fertige Abschnitte präsentiert

This appears to be a good match for me. Though I'm not using the particular DAW the instructor is using (probably Logic or GarageBand), I fully understand the point he's trying to make and know how to transfer the concepts he outlines to the software I use. Also I like the format he uses of short bullet points about music characteristics, which I feel I can easily transfer to the sounds and software I am using.

There are plenty of opportunities to practice the techniques described, and the explanations and demonstrations are clear and consistent.

Another very well-designed course from Mike.. Decent amount of knowledge, good examples, explanations and tips. The trainer dives into important details and he never gets lost (like many others do all the time). Whoever you are, you must have at least a few things to learn from Mike. Recommended..
By Matt Seewald on 5/12/2020
Great course! It fit exactly what I was needing with a more in-depth look at creating a certain style of music. Mike is a great instructor and I look forward to taking his other courses!
By Silvie Rockova on 2/1/2020
Thank you Mike for your excellent course - How to create a magic shimmering sound and bring colours, harmonies and life to an emotional music composition. Amazing course, above expectations!
By Julia Tregoing on 1/25/2020
This is great, I took the course because I wanted to take away some of the mystery of composition and emotion, I am glad he is using a DAW it is really helpful to see how it all looks
