Online music courses for gamers who want to make their own music

You love game music. You can hear it in your head. These courses show you how to get it out of your head and finish it. Each one is a clear, step-by-step path from Best Music Coach, the music school Dan Spencer built to teach music the practical way.

Where to start

New to making music? Start with a game music starter course. They are made for complete beginners, so you do not need to read music or know any theory to write your first piece.

Want to know why music works? The music theory courses climb one level at a time. Level 1 covers rhythm, reading and core theory. Levels 2, 3 and 4 build on it, all the way to advanced theory you can use in your own tracks.

Already writing? The composition courses help you finish better music: counterpoint, orchestration, instrumentals, mixing and mastering, and getting ideas out of your head and onto the page. The game music courses go deeper into motifs, looping and adaptive music, and scoring to real game footage.

Ready to release and earn? The music business courses cover your mindset, shipping your first professional track, and what to charge for your music.

What you learn

  • How to grow a tiny idea into a full, looping game theme.
  • How to use theory on purpose, so your tracks stop sounding basic.
  • How to mix and master so your music sounds like it belongs in a real game.
  • How to finish and release your music instead of starting over.

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. Watch on your computer, tablet or phone, and go at your own speed.

Each course is a one-time payment, not a subscription. The game music starter courses come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pick the one that matches where you are now, then move to the next.
