Our Verdict
Orchestration 1: Compose Orchestral Music for Strings by Karleen Heong offers a detailed and well-structured approach to understanding string instruments and their applications in orchestral composition. While the course provides valuable insights, it's essential to be prepared for the speaker's fast pace and the occasional need to pause for better comprehension. The absence of subtitles or translation options may also impact non-English speakers' experience negatively. Overall, this is a recommended course for those looking to expand their understanding of string instruments in music composition.
