You love the feeling of a great game soundtrack.
You have probably thought: “I want to make something like that.”
Then you opened a music program, looked at a wall of buttons, and closed it again.
Or you watched another tutorial, learned one interesting trick, and still had no idea what to do next.
Or you started something, got halfway through, decided it was not good enough, and filed it next to New Track 2, Final Final, and Actually Final This Time.
On day one, Dan asked the live room what stops them from making music. These were their own answers:
Notice the pattern. Most of those are not music problems. They are emotional problems.
You are not failing because you cannot build a rocket. Music is not easy, but it is not an impossible machine designed to humiliate you.
You are dealing with uncertainty. You are worried the first thing you make will sound bad. You are comparing your first attempt to somebody else’s finished soundtrack. You are waiting to feel confident before you begin, even though confidence usually comes after you begin.
Dan used to tell himself:
That story did not help him make better music.
So day one starts by swapping that story for one you can actually prove in an afternoon:
This is not a playlist of unrelated videos, and it is not a theory course you have to survive before you are allowed to make a sound. Dan teaches the way he wishes someone had taught him. Every idea arrives three ways, in the same session, on the same piece of music you are building.
A measure is a measuring cup. Rhythm is sound and silence. A motif is a small idea you can recognize when it comes back. You learn the word only because you are about to use the thing.
You watch the piece get built in front of you, note by note, including the moments where a choice could have gone either way. No finished example appears out of nowhere.
Same notes, same steps, same keyboard shortcuts, in a free browser tool or whatever software you already own. By the end of the session there is a real piece of music with your name on it.
Rather than talking about the music in the abstract, day one pulls out the repeatable moves you can hear in it, and then puts them straight into your own piece.
If you love the music of Undertale and Deltarune, you are in the right place. This challenge uses that music as inspiration for studying patterns, emotional contrast, rhythm, melody, and game music storytelling.
But it is not a course on copying Toby Fox. You are not being taught to recreate somebody else’s tracks.
You can study musical ideas without stealing somebody else’s melody. You can learn from patterns without copying a specific song. You can make music that feels energetic, emotional, strange, funny, dramatic, or memorable while still creating your own work.
The piece you finish is yours.
The two day challenge, recorded, plus the materials the live room used to build along with it.
A short orientation that tells you what this is, what you need, and how to use it.
So that: nothing between you and the first note is a shopping decision.
The full session, start to finish, plus everything you need to do the same build yourself.
The whole session, uncut, including the questions people asked in the room and the answers they got.
The identity shift, in four parts, and why the thing stopping you is almost always emotional rather than musical. This is the part most music courses skip, and it is the reason most people quit before the first melody.
Enough to write music with, and not one page more.
The written version of the same build you watch in the video. Eight steps, from an empty score to a finished piece, with the exact notes and the keyboard shortcuts.
So that: if you lose your place, pause halfway, or come back a week later, you can pick the build up from the page instead of scrubbing through a video hunting for the moment.
How to export your finished piece as an MP3 and written score, so you can hear it, keep it, and send it to whoever you want.
So that: the thing you made exists as a file in the world, and not as an unsaved tab you close by accident.
Day 1 gets you a piece. Day 2 is about becoming someone who keeps writing them.
The full session, plus the argument behind it. Across years of one to one coaching, the thing that predicted whether someone got better was consistency and effort, not how talented they seemed at the start.
The most dangerous moment is the one right after you finish. Day 2 gives you the next four moves.
A PDF you work in while the session plays, so your hands are busy and the ideas land somewhere you can find them again.
So that: you stop rewinding to remember which key does what.
Buy once and keep it. Do it this weekend, or come back in six months when you finally have a free afternoon.
Look at all of it. If it is not right for you, contact support within 30 days and ask for your money back.
It costs $100 $49, so you should know exactly what lands in your inbox before you decide.
These are people who sat through the same two days you are about to watch.
A note about these results. The testimonials above come from people who took part in the live challenge. Some video testimonials elsewhere come from students in Dan’s broader mentorship programs, which include far more coaching than this $100 $49 package does. Your result depends on your effort, your consistency, and whether you actually do the build. The challenge sits you down and walks you through it. You still have to move your hands.
Dan Spencer, also known as Music Mentor Dan, is a composer, author, game music educator, and coach. His work includes:
Dan’s goal is not to turn everyone into a clone of him. His goal is to help more people make more music. As he puts it:
“Instead of making me be the pop star, I go help other people, and I get to make so much more music by helping other people.”
Dan Spencer is Music Mentor Dan: a composer, OST creator, and coach who teaches the practical path from idea (or no ideas!) to finished music you can actually ship.
Meet Dan“No one has upped my music game more than Dan Spencer. Dan has a wealth of knowledge, but the bigger part is that he can break it down so that somebody like me, who’s never studied music ever, is able to understand what he’s saying.”

One time payment: $100 $49. The whole two day challenge, plus the workbook and the cheat sheets, for $100 $49. No subscription is attached to this purchase. There is nothing to cancel.
You can pay with credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay on devices and browsers that support it. Access instructions arrive by email, and the challenge is delivered on bestmusiccoach.com. At checkout you can also add the printed book, Compose Legendary Video Game Music, 307 pages in full colour, for $39.99 with free delivery. Same price as Amazon, and entirely optional.
Because this is the whole two day challenge, not a taster. You get both days, the written build, the workbook and the cheat sheets, and you keep all of it for good. It is priced like a game rather than a course, because the people this is for are gamers, not people with a training budget.
You pay once. There is no subscription, nothing expires, and there is nothing else you have to buy to make it work. Then you spend about 90 minutes actually writing music.
If you finish one piece of music you would otherwise never have started, that is one more piece of music than you had this morning, and you will know for a fact that you can do it again.
That proof is worth more than another month of telling yourself you might start soon.
You should not have to keep something you genuinely do not want. So this purchase comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Watch day one. Open the workbook. Try the build. Decide whether this is the right next step for you. If it is not, contact support within 30 days and ask for a refund.
The guarantee does not promise that you will become a professional composer without practising, and it does not promise that you will make money. It gives you room to look at the whole thing and decide whether it fits your goals, your time, and where you are right now.
You can close this page and keep collecting tutorials. You can open the software again, stare at it, and close it again. You can wait until you feel talented enough, which is a thing that does not arrive on its own.
Or you can give yourself the full guided course and about 90 minutes of building, and come out of it with a finished piece of music that is yours.
You do not need to know everything today. You need to write one piece. Then the next one gets much easier.
