Film Music Composition Tutorials

There are a few great film music composition video tutorials out there. It’s great material, especially for those who want to break into writing dramatic music for film using sequencing software and orchestral sound libraries. Pictures are worth a thousand words. In this case, video tutorials are worth a gold mine.

The first set of tutorials you can find on Mike Patti’s website. Mike is a great composer for film and computer games.

The second set has been put together by the talented German composer Alex Pfeffer, who has a long list of credits to his name, including composing demos for the leading sampling libraries in the industry.

Check out especially his ‘Template Talk’ post, which is invaluable if you are wanting to write quickly and efficiently without getting tied up in the technical aspects of developing your score.
