One of the biggest struggles aspiring trailer music composers face is being able to produce authentic orchestral arrangements that properly communicate emotion and drama. I wanted to share my knowledge and experience and pull back the curtain and show you that it is much more simple than you are led to believe.
You love orchestral trailer music and you love how it makes you feel. But when you go to your computer to write an orchestral piece of your own it sounds nowhere near the polished pieces you hear on the movie trailers.
Your orchestral pieces feel flat and lifeless
You struggle to turn an idea into a complete piece of music
Your melodies are just not cutting it
Orchestration still seems like a dark art to you
ππΌ
No matter how hard you try, and how many tutorials you watch, you still don't feel confident orchestrating strings
You find it easy to come up with little ideas but you struggle to turn them into complete pieces of music.
All of your orchestral pieces feel like they should be filling you with emotion but they just feel flat and loopy.
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.

...and many, many more!
The moment you sit down to compose a piece of orchestral trailer music you are immediately in the zone. You quickly come up with an idea and sketch out the full track. You load up your samples and orchestrate with confidence and ease.
Within just a few short hours your track is mocked up and already sounding like it's ready to be placed straight into a huge trailer. You feel completely in control of your knowledge and abilities, and you feel proud of the work you are creating.
This course shows you how to create show-stopping orchestral tracks that are full of emotion, weight and scale. These tracks are aimed at huge moments like the Superbowl, big brand launches, and flagship shows!
Create stunning orchestral pieces.
Turn a simple piano idea into an emotional epic.
Craft memorable melodies and hooks.
Create powerful percussion with minimal effort.
Master simple orchestration (without orchestration training).
βAlways makes me want to start writing!β
Rich teaches as if you're a friend sitting next to him at his computer. Watching over his shoulder as he creates a trailer track and explains the basics is very contagious and always makes me want to start writing..

βHighly recommended!β
I have taken most of Richard's courses and it's really helped me on the structure of my tracks as well as not sounding "loopy", as well as making me feel that success in this industry is entirely possible! I am now writing for a successful trailer music library thanks to Richard's guidance and mentorship. Highly recommended!

In this lesson, I introduce you to the course; explaining what you will be learning and what you can expect to be able to do at the end of it. I also dive into some references, breaking them down so you can understand why and how they work.
One of the most important aspects of writing any style of music is understanding the structure. This lesson clearly explains what the role of each part of the structure is and what you should be doing in your track to fulfil those roles.
In this lesson, you will set up your project with me. This is a huge time saver and one step I believe is often overlooked. You can expect to come away from this with a project template that is perfect for Uplifting Orchestral trailer music.
One of the most important things I teach, and one of the most common improvements my students see is that they work more quickly and with less resistance from "perfection". This lesson shows you my exact approach to sketching tracks with ease so you can spend more time on the details.
If you are expecting to pull on the heart strings of your listeners then you have to include some beautiful string orchestrations. In this lesson, I show you how to take a simple piano sketch and turn it into a dramatic, powerful string arrangement that could be a piece of music in it's own right.
As a guitarist, the ostinato or riff or pattern, is one of my favourite things to create. It's also one of the most important things for a trailer composer to master. In this lesson, I breakdown what makes a great ostinato and how you can create one yourself.
The nice thing about Uplifting Orchestral trailer music is that it is not heavy on the percussion. The drums you do you do however, play a big part in you achieving that massiv trailer feel with tons of impact. That's exactly what I show you in this lesson, how to create that massive sound with very few drums.
I believe that having access to the raw materials of the course can make for an excellent addition to the learning experience. This way you can see exactly how I created the track and explore the details yourself.
These MIDI sketches are complete tracks that you can then orchestrate and flesh out to become your own Uplifting Orchestral ideas. These contain all the RAW ideas and sections so that you can practice turning an idea into a complete cue.

Yes, you do need to be able to use a DAW so you can follow along with the videos.
Nope, you can use whichever DAW you please as long as you know how to use it.
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.
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)
