ALL YOU NEED IS BASIC MIDI KEYBOARD SKILLS

WE WILL TEACH YOU TO CREATE INCREDIBLE EPIC FILM MUSIC…

Watch our intro video to take a listen to just a handful of the pieces that I’m going to teach you exactly how to make in this course.

Garry Ferrier

Award Winning Film Composer

In order to make music like this I’m going to teach you about core practical production methods such as:

“Critical Band Percussion Layering”

This is just 1 of 7 Core Principles used in almost every great modern film score. Why weren’t you taught any of this in your music education?

Simply because film music composition is a trade taught from composer to assistant, not in Master’s degrees and Summer Schools.

These techniques didn’t have names until now, they are techniques and methods developed over decades of experience by professional composers passed from composer to assistant. Let me explain…

My Story…

Like me, you have probably spent countless amounts of time, money and energy learning to play and create music.

When I add it all up: cost of instruments, tuition fees, student loan from a music degree and everything in between it adds up to tens of thousands of dollars.

And yet just 4 years ago I sat in my house devastated as I could neither produce music to the quality I heard in the movies nor make a decent living from it.

How could I have invested so much time, money and dedication to my craft only to see friends in more traditional jobs with half the commitment start to earn large salaries while I struggled working a soul-crushing day job?

It was at this point that I realised something was wrong with the way I had been learning and I decided that enough is enough. I am going to figure this out once and for all.

THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL MUSIC EDUCATION

If you are like me, the problem isn’t a lack of connections or the lack of decent sample libraries, it’s that…

…you were never given the right computer based production techniques which allow you to make professional sounding pieces.

Virtually every successful composer interned as an assistant to an established composer and picked up their:

DAW Template of Instruments and FX.

Instrument layering methods.

Mixing techniques: Compression, Reverb, EQ, Limiting, Mastering etc.

Sound Design: Sub Drops, Risers, Impacts, Drones etc.

Electronics Programming: Beats, Sub Bass Lines, Lush Atmospheric Soundscapes.

I was definitely learning none of this in my school orchestration classes. Moreover, I was seeing many of my friends with every classical orchestration chop in the book struggling to earn a living while computer-music production wizards are earning huge monthly royalty cheques.

The Solution

I committed to learning everything I could – not from traditional Master’s degrees or classes – but directly from the composers and producers who can actually make pieces sound incredible.

I interned for over a year at the BBC and then Universal Music absorbing everything I could about professional production and mixing. This landed me a job as an assistant to one of the most eminent film composers alive and I spent 2 years learning every single technique used to create incredible sounding film music.

I learnt more in this time than did in 10 years of traditional education and uncovered key computer based production techniques that film composers have been using intuitively since the dawn of computer based film scoring.

I gathered countless notebooks of techniques, breaking down every piece into its component parts and my own compositions became more powerful and clear than ever. Countless notebooks and pieces later I knew that I had cracked the code (just check out the pieces I will be showing you how to make in the video above). These powerful techniques fell into 7 core categories which now form the backbone of my work.

In the space of a year I started producing the kind of music I always dreamed of. Work began to flow in from ads, trailers, computer games as I began to establish myself. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not making millions from Hollywood movies but I was able to leave my day-job and compose for a living comfortably full-time which means the world to me.

HOW YOU CAN GET THERE TOO…

If you are like me, you have striven with honest dedication to your art but you aren’t being given the full picture. Many Film music degrees, Masters courses etc. that cost thousands of dollars prey upon young composers who assume that this is their first step into the industry, only to leave with little to no idea how to sit down at a DAW and produce something that sounds like a real film score.

I have met countless students like this at film music festivals and turned them onto Modern Film Composer, check out the testimonials below!

You can’t afford to miss the vital production techniques you need to make your music all that it can be. You have dedicated years of your life to learning your craft, you deserve to know how to translate your abilities into fair payment and success in the industry. Stop torturing yourself about “a lack of industry connections” and start making the kind of music that blows people away and creates those connections for you when people can’t help but talk about it.
