Game Music Courses

Game music courses: write music that belongs in a game

Game music has its own rules. It loops. It reacts to the player. It has to fit a place, a mood and a moment on screen. These courses teach you those rules, from your very first piece all the way to scoring real game footage.

Where to start

New to making music? Start with a game music starter course: Compose Game Ready Music in 60 Days, the Compose Music Like Toby Fox Challenge or the Legendary Video Game Music 2 Composition Challenge. Each one takes you step by step from an empty project to game music of your own.

Want your music to work inside a game? The Perfect Adaptive Looping System teaches seam-free loops, adaptive layers that blend calm into combat, and clean exports that are ready for a game engine.

Want to write themes players remember? Gamer Grooves shows you how great themes grow from one or two tiny ideas, then how to shape them into full forms for games. Lots of short sketches build the habit, so you stop overthinking.

Want to know why classic game themes stick? Compose Music Inspired by Ocarina of Time breaks down the composition systems behind three iconic tracks. Then you use those systems to write an original track of your own, not a copy.

Ready to compose to picture? Scoring AAA Action Games is a case study of the music for Call of Duty: Mobile, and then you compose original music for an action game of your own design.

What you learn

  • How to build a memorable theme from a short motif.
  • How to make music loop cleanly and change with the gameplay.
  • How to time your music to what happens on screen.
  • How to give a place or a moment its own musical identity.

How access works

Every course is online and self-paced. Your access arrives by email right after checkout, and nothing ships. A presale course opens on its release date.

Each course is a one-time payment, not a subscription. The game music starter courses come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
