Ryan’s approach is a welcome surprise that really benefitted my own writing process. Unlike other courses, he sketches in Dorico before jumping into his DAW. Ryan’s detailed analysis of the genre that can be applied to nearly any musical style. They may call this a “mini” course… it is anything but. There is a ton inspiring material - so much so that I grabbed Ryan’s other courses!

Have a look through the course:
In the first module Ryan explores the theoretical side of how to imitate a musical style and specifically how to create a sense of magic and wonder with music.After a broad overview of how to approach writing in any style, you’ll learn how to think about the four different aspects of harmony, melody, rhythm, and orchestration in the context of creating that cinematic magical sound. Beyond thinking about the metaphor of magic and what feelings it evokes, you’ll be able to bridge the gap between the concept of magic and actual written notes.With an understanding of specific harmonic and melodic devices, as well as reliable idiomatic instrument choices for color and timbre, you’ll have the toolkit you need to write your own magical music.
The second module is where Ryan actually puts the theoretical concepts into practice by composing a brand new original piece of music live on camera.Sharing the notation software on his screen and talking through the entire thinking process for every musical choice, you’ll see how an original composition forms from a blank page to a full sketch.How to structure a piece of music, coming up with basic ideas and forming them into expressive melodies, making harmony and chord choices, arrangement decisions, and so much more is covered in this “blank page to composition” section of the course.And of course he incorporates the concepts covered in the first module to make sure the music evokes magic!
In the third module Ryan takes the composition sketch and creates a fully produced demo mockup in Logic Pro.Beyond seeing the intricacies of creating orchestral cinematic music, you’ll get an inside view of a working film composer in his element: the DAW.Part masterclass in arranging and orchestration, part masterclass in MIDI production, this is where the music comes to life! With the sketch as his guide, watch Ryan as he turns the abstract theoretical concepts covered in the beginning into a real finished piece of music.If you want to know how to create that cinematic magical fantasy sound, this is where you see it happen.

Bernard McLaughlin
Composer
If writing eight bars and getting stuck sounds familiar, Ryan’s courses will help. Ryan’s teaching style is clear and his methods can be used to structure your compositions, no matter what genre you are writing for. After competing Wizards & Witches I used some of the techniques to complete a couple of scores for a spaghetti western. I can honestly say Ryan has helped me structure and elevate my writing process…no more half finished ideas!!
