    Scoring for Film, TV, Video Games, and other Media

    Having collaborated with productions from Netflix, ESPN, Amazon, Sony Columbia, Miramax, NBC, CBS, National Geographic, and Oxygen, I know I can guide you in the right direction when it comes to meeting the expectations of cinematic sound productions. Lessons include, but are definitely not limited to: Music Production and Sequencing: We will explore how to create music using a computer, covering composing, editing, and mixing. We will also focus on creating professional-level MIDI mockups that can help you secure larger projects. Film Scoring: Starting from ground zero, we will delve into the art of writing music for film, TV, and video games. Additionally, we will cover how to interpret visuals as a composer. Library Music Production: We will uncover the secret "formula" that increases the chances of getting your tracks approved by music libraries. Orchestration: We will cover a wide range of writing styles, from classical to untraditional/hybrid approaches. Each class is specially tailored to cater to your personal style and what you hope to gain from the experience.

    About Iran G.

    I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to combine my career in Film and Media Scoring with my university degrees in Music Production, Film Scoring, and Guitar Education alongside all of you! Throughout my time teaching K-12 in South Florida and currently lecturing at College of the Canyons in Los Angeles, there is no topic too small or too complicated when delving into the profession of Film and Media Scoring. I will teach you everything I can from my curriculum at Berklee, as well as everything I have learned from collaborating with filmmakers here in Los Angeles. It's not just what the book teaches you, but how real-life experiences shape and adapt those concepts. I am thrilled to be able to share my music knowledge with all of you and witness where your musical journey takes you!
