Game music starter courses for complete beginners
You love game music and you can hear it in your head. You just have not written it yet. These starter courses are your first step. They are made for gamers who have never finished a track, so you do not need to read music or know any theory to begin.
Which one to pick
Want a plan with a finish line? Compose Game Ready Music in 60 Days gives you a week-by-week path to two pieces for imaginary games. You get done-for-you composition briefs, so you never stare at a blank page, plus mixing, mastering and release checklists.
Want to write one real piece, start to finish? The Compose Music Like Toby Fox Challenge walks you through a complete piece of game music, step by step, with a workbook and cheat sheets you can print.
Never written a note? The Legendary Video Game Music 2 Composition Challenge hands you the patterns behind the soundtracks you love. You start with melodies, add harmony, and track each lesson in the challenge workbook so it sticks.
Finished a track, but it sounds amateur in a game? The Perfect Adaptive Looping System shows you how to build seam-free loops, blend calm music into combat music, and export stems a developer can drop straight into a game engine.
What you learn
- How to turn one or two tiny ideas into a melody that sticks.
- How melody and chords work together to create emotion.
- How to finish a piece instead of leaving it as an 8-bar loop.
- How to make your music loop and change the way game music has to.
How access works
Every starter course is online and self-paced. Your access arrives by email right after checkout, and nothing ships. Watch on your computer, tablet or phone, whenever you want.
Each one is a one-time payment, not a subscription, and every starter course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What comes next
When you finish a starter course, the game music courses go deeper into themes, form and scoring to real game footage. The music theory courses show you why the music you love works, one level at a time.
