How Does This Work?


Universities would have you believe that dropping $50K or more on a Master's Degree is enough to prepare you for a career in scoring.

But you know all too well that a piece of paper and a video of your orchestral session isn't enough to find work. What do your CLIENTS - filmmakers - actually want and need?

Success in scoring requires a BUSINESS-ORIENTED approach. And that means, before you "go to market" (i.e. try to find scoring work), you need to make sure you have a VIABLE PRODUCT that will be professionally competitive, and a plan to sell it.

The PRODUCT is YOU.


Our process is simple: we help you upgrade yourself in every way that matters in the scoring industry. We help you find the vision for your career and the logical next steps to aim for.

Then, we show you how to connect with your ideal clients and put your best foot forward, so that they feel 100% confident that you're the right composer for their project.

 

THE END RESULT: you show up in the industry with new confidence, a solid strategy, and BOOK HIGHER-PAYING SCORING JOBS as a result!

MINDSET - MUSIC - MARKETING

We start with your mindset:

the way you think about yourself.

Most composers are weighed down by mental blocks and are unconsciously self-sabotaging. We'll fix that by taking you through a series of exercises that build a new success-oriented mindset. By the end of this first phase of the program, you will have connected to the vision of yourself at your maximum success potential, and believe with 100% confidence that you will achieve it.

Next, we'll examine your music:

the product of your business.

It's not enough simply to write from your heart. In the scoring industry, your music has to sound cinematic; that is, filmmakers need to be able to instantly understand where you land on the genre spectrum. We'll help you identify your influences and create a demo reel that checks all the necessary boxes while presenting your unique individual voice.

Finally, we'll look at marketing:

the story you tell about yourself.

We'll show you how to present yourself in the most successful and professional light. We'll help you build or re-design your website, write your bio, choose your photo, and create your social media strategy. Finally, we'll give you a crash course in sales and client outreach, show you how to connect with filmmakers and close the deal, and set you on your way with a clear roadmap to career success!
