Reviews

"This course has definitely inspired me to experiment more with my own compositions and try out some new ideas. I loved learning about how each mode can create its own unique mood and emotion in music. Highly recommend it to any film music composers out there!"

"I have to say this is a wonderful course and I've thoroughly enjoyed learning. The course does an excellent job of explaining how the different modes of the seven-note scale system can be used to create a range of emotions and moods in music."

Over the years, I've experienced numerous resources on musical modes, yet none of them have directly guided me on incorporating them into my compositions. This course is particularly beneficial for those eager to understand the implementation of modes and their distinctive tones in music. It provides ample musical examples utilizing modes, complemented by thorough analysis. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone truly desiring to incorporate modal colors into their compositions!
