Course Headline: Unlock the Secrets of the Orchestra with a Comprehensive Masterclass for Composers and Music Makers!

Course Description: This course is not just any music theory class. It's a 5-star, certified masterpiece by the International Association of Online Music Educators and Institutions. With a stellar 100% answer rate from the instructor, Jason Allan, you're in for an educational journey like no other.

Are you ready to elevate your music composition skills? Whether you're a composer, performer, songwriter, or an aspiring maestro, this course is tailored to help you master the art of orchestration. It's time to infuse your musical creations with the power, passion, and prodigiousness that only an orchestra can bring.

Orchestration is the fine art of painting with sound, where each instrument in the orchestra offers a unique color or texture to your composition palette. It's not just about combining sounds; it's about understanding the principles of their harmonious blend. In this series of masterclasses, we will delve into the world of strings and winds, exploring how to write effectively for each instrument.

Key Focus Areas:

  1. Instrumentation: Gain a deep understanding of how to write idiomatically for every orchestral instrument, from violin to contrabass, and flute to saxophone.
  2. Composition: Learn to blend the diverse sounds of the orchestra to create new, unique sonorities that captivate your audience.
  3. Synthestration: Master the art of creating a realistic orchestral sound using sample libraries with popular production software like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc.

In This First Class: "Part 1 - The Strings & The Winds" Our journey begins with a deep dive into the strings (violin, viola, cello, bass/contrabass) and the winds (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone). We'll cover everything from transposition, score order, and reading scores to preparing parts for players, managing page turns and breaks in instruments, and exploring a myriad of woodwind effects and multiphonics.

What You'll Learn:

  • Types of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and saxophones
  • Alto, tenor, bari, and soprano saxophone specifics
  • Woodwind and string effects that can transform your compositions
  • How to use multiphonics to add complexity to wind passages
  • The break in the clarinet and how it affects sound

If you have any questions, I guarantee a prompt response within 24 hours. And if this class doesn't meet your expectations, take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
