Learn an intuitive approach to music composition for film, TV and game music. This workshop will not require reading or writing music notation (although examples will be available). This workshop-style course will introduce you to the elements of music that are necessary for creating emotional moods in your compositions. You will compose 3 different musical cues (short, 30-second compositions) representing 3 specific moods (urgent, calm and creepy). This course will introduce you to valuable music theory concepts and walk you through the process of composing these 3 cues. You will learn when and how to use musical elements such as rhythm, harmony, melody and scales to convey emotion effectively and quickly.
