How To Write Music For Video Games: JRPG

How To Write Music For Video Games: JRPG

The aim of this course is to give you a powerful and extensive knowledge of composing in the JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game) style.

Mindset, chords, melodies, production and composition tricks covered.  It does it all through a practical, hands on walk through, and it’s all accessible without having to read any music.

This course was designed for the beginner and intermediate composer!

For the beginner, this course takes you from literally ground zero into what makes music work. Start your composing journey off right with a powerful skill set and the right mindset.

For the intermediate composers who are already serious about their craft but feel restricted by never really getting their head around the strategies and writing style - this course covers almost everything you need to know. It’s built from years (8 to be exact) of experience composing music for video games on mobile, PC and console titles. For those of you who feel your writing ability is held back in compositional strategy this course is completely designed for you.

And even if you’re basically semi-pro, but think your technique and knowledge are missing a trick, I still know the course will be of value to you!

• ‘I have a chord progression, but I don’t know where to take it next’

• ‘I have chords, how do I add a bass line?’

• ‘I have a melody, how do I add chords?’

• ‘I have chords, how do I add a melody?’

• ‘I have a bass line, how do I add chords?’

• ‘My melodies sound a little dull, how can I make them more interesting?’

• ‘If my chords are going to stay the same, how can I make them sound different or more inspiring for the next section?’
