Film Score Academy

Introducing my newest product - The Composer's Studio 🎼🎹

It's a set of templates for your DAW, pre-loaded and mixed with a full professional scoring setup, made to get you writing music right away.

I made The Composer's Studio because I keep hearing from composers that they want to write, but setup gets in the way. Figuring out what instruments to load, reverbs, how to mix them so they sound good together - by the time they actually start writing, the inspiration is gone and the track stays unfinished.

The Composer's Studio solves all of that. It's already set up with orchestra, percussion, synths, and everything else you need for a modern film score. All the instruments are balanced and mixed, with reverbs already set up, so when inspiration strikes you can sit down and get to work with nothing in your way.

I'm also including the Pro Orchestra Expansion - the same full cinematic template, upgraded with professional, free-to-download orchestral sounds from Spitfire Audio.

My goal with this product is to get you past the setup block and writing music like pros do - with a full studio of instruments ready when inspiration strikes, so you can finish tracks, and get your music out into the world.

The Composer's Studio works in Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools and Ableton, so no matter which DAW you use, you can start writing today - and it's 50% off for a limited time!

Here's a thought.

What if you're not too old?
What if the timing is actually perfect?
What if you already have everything it takes to make your music career happen?

Here's the truth.
You're not too old.
You're not too late.
And you already have all the talent you need.

The only thing standing between you and your film scoring career is doubt. And it's time to let it go.

You already have the talent to write film music.

What you need is guidance, process, and the confidence to trust your own voice.

After more than 20 years working as a film composer, one thing is clear: film scoring is not about copying others.
It’s about developing your unique sound and shaping it into music for picture.

I created Film Score Academy to help composers develop their own voice, and the skills to produce film music at a professional level.

Learning music changes how you hear the world, and it makes you want to share it. That’s certainly been true for me.

Music has been a part of my life through every stage, and it continues to shape how I see, feel, and tell stories. And it can do the same for you.

As I look ahead, I’m especially grateful for the students choosing to take that journey with me. Watching people lean into learning, curiosity, and growth is what makes this work so meaningful.

Here’s to a bright, music-filled 2026. I can’t wait to hear what you create!

Do you feel imposter syndrome?

That’s normal, and a part of learning to write music.

You can reduce it by developing your own musical voice, learning production skills, and making writing music a regular part of your life.
