What does the Star Wars theme and Beethoven have in common? What does La La Land's soundtrack, Final Fantasy Battle Themes, and Mozart share? In this course, we will start by listening and dissecting the ideas behind these pieces of music. We will learn how to compose our own pieces using the tools that many composers have used before us. We will focus on music written in the 21st century, but take detours to look at older masterpieces. In the last two or so classes, you'll have the opportunity to show your own works in a masterclass style, where I will give you feedback on your compositions and give you the tools to become a composer!
