What do you need to get started?  

No prior music background is required for this course. This course will cover from complete beginner all the way to advanced techniques.  

You don’t need to know how to make music or play an instrument (although it helps)  

You just need a desire to create, experiment, and find joy in making music. It’s now possible to learn all the tricks and tools to become a soundtrack composer from the comfort of your own home. You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for a professional studio or degree to learn to score soundtracks. Everything you need can be done from home on your computer and this course will show you how.
