Course Description

** UDEMY BESTSELLER **100%Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor. Welcome to the COMPLETE Music COMPOSITION AND FILM SCORING Guide!
This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest)and develop it into something more. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, this class is perfect for you.
When most people think of a composer, they imagine someone sitting in a dusty attic with a grand piano, a big white wig, and the year is 1800. That might have been accurate back then, but the modern composer is just like you and me. In fact, Iam one.
In this course, I'll show you the techniques Iuse for writing music in a variety of styles and situations. I've worked with major American orchestras, film studios, and video game designers, so I've got more than a little experience. I'm also a Ph.
D. in music composition and a university professor (of music composition).
Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundation's Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes. Now I'm taking those classes to Udemy in an online format in order to reach more students and give them the joy of Music Theory.
This is a combined class that includes both sections of my Music Composition class, and both sections of my Film Scoring class.
As the class grows, we will go deeper and deeper into my techniques. This class starts atthe beginning:
Generating ideas and getting started.
In the Music Composition portion of thisclass, we will cover:

So far the course basically consists of off-topic bloat... still waiting for content, very boring and disappointing so far!

By Bar Akan on 11/8/2020

Not just extremely helpful but so much fun too....

By Raik Moosdorf on 10/22/2020

Gut und verstndlich

By Jaiden Valles on 10/20/2020

This class is helping me fulfill my dream of composing music. It is simple to understand, and excellent at sparking that creative flare.

By Ian lindsay on 10/16/2020

Although aimed for a beginner to film composition, for which this course is excellent, faultless (as are all the instructor's courses)-even with someone with professional experience, I found it an excellent refresher / revision tool and learnt a fair bit. I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

By Daniel Casas Mendicoa on 10/5/2020

J. es muy prximo y es muy inteligente al desmitificar el oficio de compositor, puede ayudar con la motivacin de muchas personas.

By Caty F on 10/5/2020

Complete and well explained, its foolproof

By Matt Guza on 9/23/2020

Great class! very informative and clearly explained! well done! Would love to hear a class on what composers and musicians can do career wise, during this corona virus pandemic. The entire entertainment business seems to be on indefinite hold, and I would love to hear ideas on where it would be wise to focus our creative endeavors during these uncertain times. Would I be able to send you a movie trailer I scored for review? would appreciate that. Best, Matt Guza

It was useful

By Darryl Blood on 9/2/2020

So far I feel like I'm in good hands. I connected right away with Jason's teaching style. This is an area of music I have been intimidated learning about, especially owing that I have no classical background, but this course feels inclusive and I'm ready to dig in.

By Brian Long on 8/27/2020

By Caleb Wetzel on 8/25/2020
