βRich's enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge in the field is second to noneβ
Rich's informal style of teaching makes the course enjoyable and leaves you eager to get to work, move onto the next module and finally complete your track. His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge in the field is second to none. I like how Rich demonstrates how to build a track from a simple idea through to a grand finale. The course covers how to create a chord progression and melody in the dark fantasy genre, how to structure and build a track, orchestrate and mix your final track. Plus there are lots of tips along the way that will enhance your piece. Thoroughly recommended! Thanks Rich!

ππ»ββοΈ I used to be in your shoes!
Hi, I'm Rich!
I started writing music for movie trailers in 2011. Then in 2017 I started teaching other people how to write music for trailers too.
Writing trailer music can be very daunting. On the one hand you have to write great ideas, often recorded yourself, then produce them to the highest possible standard. All from the comfort of your own studio. Or in my case, front room.
Learning to do this is tough, frustrating and sometimes gets you down. That's why I started creating courses. To help make writing music for trailers, ads, TV (and for fun) as simple and as straightforward as reading a book.

Nope, you can use whichever DAW you please as long as you know how to use it.
πΌ How much music theory do I need to know?
The wonderful thing about this, and all of my courses is that I try to steer clear of getting too deep into theory. You will be at an advantage if you know how to harmonise the major/minor scales but aside from that you won't need any theory.
π Do I have to know how to mix and master too?
I am so blessed to have had the amazing mixing and mastering engineer Toby Mason produce an hour-long masterclass in Trailer Music mixing and mastering. He shows you how to mix and master your music to a Hollywood standard within the course.
π€ Can you guarantee I will get a placement?
Of course not! What I can say is that of all the composers and producers who have taken this course, the ones who are getting work as trailer music composers are the ones who put the hours into their work. They also happen to be super nice people (industry secret there)
