π¬ What My Students Are Saying...
π₯ I just landed a Star Wars trailer!!!"
"As a direct result of Rich's courses and endlessly sharing his knowledge I just landed my first Star Wars trailer!!!"
π₯ From no trailer experience to HUGE placements!
"I love watching Richard explain his process WHILE he is composing and producing. It has given me some clarity on the things I need to focus on while producing stuff. I like melodies, harmonies and sounds but I often don't know what a track needs. Watching Richard has helped me figure that stuff out."
- Anna Eichenauer, Composer
π The Courses That Taught Me All The "Secrets"
"I've just been asked to do a 10-track album for a well-known production library. This is literally thanks to Rich's courses helping me make those vital changes to take my music from being nice...to being placeable (within ..what 10 weeks of signing up for the TMS??) So...thanks for passing on what you've learned."
- Dave Graham, Composer
π€― "RIGHT AWAY,
a ton of INFORMATION that I could put to use IMMEDIATELY"
Quentin Bellow, Composer

ππ½ββοΈ Frequently Asked Questions
π» Do I need to be able to use a DAW?
Yes, you do need to be able to use a DAW so you can follow along with the videos.
π Do I have to use Logic?
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.

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)
