Having studied composition in school, I must agree with Mark that there is a genuine dearth of subject matter on how to orchestrate around “textures.” I imagine there are quite a few similar techniques employed by the masters, each with their spin, but using the same technique tree.

I love that you’re breaking new ground in the world of music analysis with this texture-first approach.
I’ve only started on the first set of lessons but i’m already very excited about how the course will change my compositions for the better, as your other courses have already done.

Matching textures to expression – I’m pretty sure there is nobody else even coming close to this. Certainly not online.

Great stuff. 🙇

I can’t wait to get into this one! Your focus on the emotional meaning of musical choices really sets your teaching apart.

I’ve gone through the first section of the course “Neutral/Battle Chase Textures” and I am as always amazed by your ability to break concepts down into digestible units. Breaking the orchestration down into their functions and demonstrating them through the audio is outstanding. Once again, you have created an amazing course, and I am looking forward to continuing the journey.
