12 Week Music Composition Course
Introduction
You may be producing music, but good are your composition skills? Forget GCSE music lessons, this course has been created to give music producers and sound engineers a solid grounding in musical theory and keyboard skills using contemporary examples – from Daft Punk to techno.
The knowledge you’ll gain from this course will underpin your approach to making music, and will give you a confidence to experiment creatively. This course will allow you to generate ideas not only quickly but with ease, and will answer questions like:
What are keys, scales, melodies? How do they fit into a groove? What’s a time signature? How do I develop a chord structure? What’s the anatomy of a drum rhythm? How can I create a track, with a sample as a starting point? How do I work vocals, timing and tuning to make my tracks tighter? How can I improve my remixing? How do I make a bigger drop? How can I make my music more interesting? What arrangements can I look at? How can I finish this track?
It’s important to remember, this course isn’t just for music producers wanting to improve. If you’re a sound engineer, music theory will help you to communicate with the musicians around you in a language they understand. If you want to create music for other mediums such as films or TV, a foundation of music theory is absolutely essential for your workflow.
This is a great all-rounder course for anyone wanting to delve deeper into music. The training will improve your musical ear, and help take your ideas to a finished arrangement, ready for mixdown.
