Film Scoring Bundle: Writing Music For Films: Parts 1 & 2 TUTORIAL

This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest) and develop it into something more. Whether you are an active musician or an aspiring musician, this class is perfect for you.
