This music composition course has four core elements: An extensive introduction to piano technique, theory & arrangement Fundamental & advanced harmony & music theory at the piano taught & learned in a practical way you can start using immediately. (as opposed to learning how to read, which isn’t as efficient as a learning strategy.) A look at powerful compositional techniques and strategies to help you generate material and problem solve when you get stuck Conventions and structures of piano chords, progressions and songwriting , so that you can analyse and grow your knowledge of building songs & tracks. --- Many composers, producers and songwriters feel restricted by their lack of ability and knowledge of music theory at the piano. Without doubt, one of THE greatest things you can do to supercharge your composing and songwriting abilities is to gain greater technique and experience in modern day harmony at the piano. The aim of this course is to give you a powerful and extensive compositional vocabulary, from the ground up - right up to advanced music theory, chords & harmony. And it does it all through a practical, hands on experience of theory at the piano, and it’s all accessible without having to read any music . --- This course was designed for three types of musician, the beginner and intermediate Producer Composer (Film & Games) Songwriter For the beginner , this course takes you from literally ground zero into the building blocks of what makes music work, right up to advanced harmony - without skipping a beat. You’ll learn to write a wealth of different material at the piano and start your composing journey off right with a powerful skillset at the piano. For the intermediate composers, producers and songwriters who are already serious about their craft but feel restricted by never really getting their head around piano & theory - this course covers almost everything you need to know. It’s built from thousands of hours (literally) of experience in private teaching with composers, producers & songwriters with a highly experienced teacher. For those of you who feel your writing ability is held back by your piano, arranging, compositional strategy & harmonic knowledge this course is completely designed for you. And even if you’re basically semi-pro , but think your piano technique, voicings and harmonic knowledge are missing a trick, I still know the course will be of value to you. We cover extended Jazz Harmony, thematic writing, non-diatonic chord relationships and more. --- At the end of this course not only are you going to feel more strong and fluent as a writer , you’re going to be able to solve critical problems on the fly whilst composing; things like: ‘Where do I start? How do I generate material?’ ‘I have a chord progression, how do I make it more interesting?’ ‘How can I make my chords sound more sophisticated?’ ‘I have a chord progression, but I don’t know where to take it next’ ‘What’s the musical science behind why that sounds like it does ‘I have chords, how do I add a bass line?’ ‘I have a melody, how do I add chords?’ ‘I have chords, how do I add a melody?’ ‘I have a bass line, how do I add chords?’ ‘My melodies sound a little dull, how can I make them more interesting?’ ‘If my chords are going to stay the same, how can I make them sound different or more inspiring for the next section?’ --- At the end of this course, you’re going to be able to: Express yourself and your ideas fluently Know how to compose well & use extended music theory without having to involve yourself in reading music but by understanding simple patterns at the piano. Unleash your writing with tools to unblock the writing process and generate material with ease Be able to write anything from classical music, to jazz music to mainstream music - because the fundamental building blocks of harmony are largely the same. Build interesting chord progressions and choose from hundreds of other options when something doesn’t sound quite right Alleviate a lot of writer's block! Have specific principles, techniques and formulas for making music work at your fingertips Teach others the fundamentals of music theory and composition and keep teaching yourself so that you can learn and master piano more and more. This course contains many piano tutorials on piano scales, piano chords, exercises and is the perfect way to learn piano online. --- More of the elements we cover: How to write a song How to compose music How to improvise All the most common piano chords and how to create them instantly How to play jazz chords on the piano The most common chord progressions and how to manipulate them into your songs How to write music compositions for film or games How to write themes for characters in films or musicals The fundamentals of musical composition How to compose piano music How to play keyboard scales What chords sound good together How to modulate between different keys How to create different feelings with literally hundreds of different scales (I’m not talking about different root notes here with just minor, major, blues etc - this is a whole other level of scales you’ve probably never used.) How to transpose between different keys and transpose the songs you love into the right key for you or someone else to sing to How to accompany singers Many different accompanimental patterns to suit different circumstances How to analyze music How to read chord symbols How to find the key of a song Why the favourite sounds of your fav artists are so How to write effective melodies that are really interesting How to structure your compositions well with harmony How to voice and arrange and play your chords in interesting ways How to write bass lines How to write effective voice leading with 3 or 4 parts for orchestral string writing How to create pretty much any chord from scratch, including: major, minor, diminished, augmented, suspension, major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, diminished 7th, 9th chords, 11th chords & 13th chords. How to reharmonize and make your progressions rhythmically interesting The power of tension and resolution in music writing This course has A TON of theory in it. But the goal is not to turn you into a theory monster who composes theoretical music. The goal of this course is to give you fluency and OPTIONS so you can choose who you want to be and how you want to write, and express yourself in your own unique way. Above all, you should know that I obsess about teaching effectively - there’s no rambling, tangents, wasted space or filler. It’s not 30 hours (yet) because I’ve made every video super condensed and to the point, whilst trying not to rush. I also care deeply about and teach you how to think & learn music effectively. I hope to see you on the inside Jack Vaughan

This course gives you an outline of some of the things you should be watching out for as a composer. Over the years, I've noticed that a lot of my students overlook many things that should be integral to the creation process. Some of these are simple ideas, yet easily overlooked. I want to help you to gain more insight in what to look for to help you avoid these same traps. Composition can seem like something huge to take on, but is only as difficult as you make it. I want to help change that frame of mind by offering a series of insights that will help composition, and music in general, to become something much more interesting, much simpler, and hopefully much more natural in terms of your approach to composition. I have had a long career as a music teacher, composer and musician and would like to share my ideas with you. We will look at topics such as: How to 'think' like a composer Orchestration Vertical versus Linear Thinking Voice Leading Active listening Articulation Foreground and Background material Dynamics Composition maps Composing with random notes Examples from the repertoire With these and other topics, I want to help you focus on the more important aspects of composition. Some of the ideas may seem abstract, but this is just to get you 'thinking outside the box'. This course will not teach you how to compose. That's not the purpose. Anyone with a basic idea of music theory could, theoretically, compose. The object here is to give you some insight into best practice and to try to establish your own compositional voice.  Combining critical listening with score study can also help you achieve this, once you know what to listen for, and what to watch for in the score. There are some quite technical details in the course, but I deliberately try to avoid these where possible. There are many courses that can teach this and many, many books on the subject. This course is more about using the tools of music in combination with putting yourself into a composing frame of mind, using your own experiences to draw from. It's also about how your mindset can help you to achieve your goals. I hope you will join me here and get some new perspectives on composition. It's a wonderful art - but it's easier than you may think if you just start with the right information... Lawrence O'Donnell December 2020

Music is a universal language. Everyone has a favorite melody. Music allows people from all backgrounds to come together and share a common love. Although there are many different types of music, they all start with the same fundamentals. Having knowledge of music basics can be a beneficial skill in many aspects of life. Knowing these functions not only allows an individual to comprehend the language, it also allows them to tap into their own creativity and contribute towards the historical heritage of sound. This book series is intended to provide a concise, simple and effective way of explaining the fundamentals.

Music Composition 1 is the first course in a series of two courses that teaches how music is put together and how to write your own music. The course is divided into two parts. Part one covers the study of rhythmic composition. Part two covers the study of melodic composition. (Harmony and form are studied in Music Composition 2) Course lectures consist mainly of video but also include some text. Each section of the course covers a particular concept (or related concepts). Concepts and compositional techniques are demonstrated throughout the course with real musical examples (pictures and audio samples). Besides lectures, each section of the course also contains memory questions, section quiz, listening assignments, and transcription/composition assignments. Memory questions serve to summarize and reinforce key concepts learned, while the quizzes test the students’ knowledge and understanding of the material from each section. Students who take this course will get practice transcribing music (hearing a rhythm or a melody and writing it down). In the composition assignments students will get real life practice using the information and techniques learned in each section to write their own rhythms and melodies. Who should take this course? Every student of music should know how to compose! It is a sad but true fact that most modern music teachers and music courses do not include music composition as part of the students’ musical education. In the past it was typical for students of music to be able to compose music. The “complete” musician can play an instrument, has knowledge of music theory AND can also compose! If you want to deepen your understanding of music, learn to write it! Course Includes : 190 Diagrams and Audio Samples (to illustrate concepts taught) 125 Memory Questions (to reinforce concepts taught) 90 Transcription and Composition Assignments (to practice the concepts taught) 76 Listening Assignments 21 Quizzes

There’s one fundamental thing in music that you can learn which will immediately improve your music compositions. Without buying the latest sample libraries, without spending months or even years analysing the minute details of music orchestration, and the best news is that you probably already know a little about it. And that’s melody . In this melodic music composition course, you’ll learn: A tried and tested method for composing better melodies from scratch How to compose a strong melody over an existing chord sequence What makes a good melody How to compose countermelodies The scales and modes you can use to compose more interesting melodies I’ve taught literally hundreds of students how to compose music in person, and thousands more online, and I’ve also won awards internationally for my own music, but when I first start teaching a new group of students about composing melody , they often think it doesn’t apply to them. Maybe you’re into death metal and don’t view that as melodic? Or perhaps you’re writing minimalist music built on patterns or chord sequences? Well…here’s the thing: you’re still writing melodic music. As Leonard Bernstein said: “where there’s music there’s melody, you can’t have one without the other” I remember one student in particular, Jamie, who was really into rap so didn’t think melody had much to do at all with what he was composing. During our first lesson we sat together and analysed some of his favourite tracks and he went wide eyed, amazed at just how many melodic elements there were in music that he himself had thought wasn’t melodic. He went on to write some of the most intricate, and interesting hip hop music I’ve heard for a long time. So melodic music writing isn’t about composing “old-fashioned” symphonies or cheesy pop songs. It’s about writing better parts for any type of music. Whether you’re a music producer with little formal musical training, or a classically trained musician frustrated about why your music isn’t connecting, my course on melodic music is going to help you learn to bring your compositions to life. When you enrol: You'll get lifetime access to the music composition program, where I walk you through all of the steps I use to create better melodies. You’ll learn what to listen for while analysing your favourite music, all of the building blocks that are used to put a melody together, I'll teach you a number of methods of creating and developing a melody, working with harmony, and creating counterpoint. Remember that you’re protected by a 30-Day-Money-Back-Guarantee , no hard feelings, just in case you discover that the course isn’t right for you. So if you’re ready to take your music composing to a new level, and to put in the work to get you there, click the “Buy Now” button now to enrol today. See you in the course! P.S. it isn't your mixing holding you back, you don't need a new sample library, and you don't need to be a musical prodigy to write great melodies. You just need to know what makes a good melody and apply that to your own compositions. Enrol today and I'll show you exactly how.
