Film Scoring for Beginners - NEW COURSE

Hey guys! The second online course that I just launched through my new online educational site (Forte Composer Academy) is called Film Scoring for Beginners.

This in-depth, 42 lesson/10-hour-long video course course is intended to be a pretty comprehensive introduction to the art, craft, philosophy, business, relationships, process, practice, and problem-solving of film scoring for someone who is fairly new to it, yet is serious about following the film composer career. A big point of emphasis in this material is addressing the scenarios and realities that composers starting out in the indie/low budget/no budget film world will face, and working with other team members who may not be particularly experienced because they are just starting out as well.
