Who is the target audience?

  • Anyone who wants to compose music for soundtracks no matter what level of technical skill or musical background.
  • Musicians and composers who want to see how music theory can actually be applied in real life scenarios. This is not a course about memorizing random music theory, its a course about inventing music.
