It may frustrate people who are looking for deeper information about the topics advertised. At the same time it can frustrate people who do not have previous knowledge, since the topics are complex.
Jean-Jacques Kujawa –
Overall it is a nice course but I regret the video that is supposed to talk about making strings realistic actually presents the different ways to work with strings.
I was expecting a real example with explanations.

First impression: Pleasantly surprised. Exciting info, clear teaching. More than I hoped for.
Update: Very information packed. I feel that I got more than I paid for. I wish to redo the course so that I can take in every detail. Makes me want to expand my knowledge in the field. Except for having taken some basic piano and guitar lessons, I knew nothing about composing or scoring.
The tutor is very willing to share knowledge. As the course progresses, the teaching style becomes more and more fun. It has an intimate classroom or one-to-one teaching feeling rather than a lecture hall feeling. Really appreciate the attempts made to teach at a basic level despite the tutor being an expert in the field. Got the sense of having a mentor.
There are lots of resources for independent learning; you sort of get guided to go as far as you choose to go. The learning isn’t really limited to the syllabus of the course. Not that the tutor scrimps on the syllabus content either. Extremely satisfied with the course.

Very well structured and addressed topic
Sebastian Ludeña –
I would have liked to see a little more how the orchestra is formed and how each instrument works while a composition is made. Bero if it helped me with something.
Carlo Gonella –
Yes, nice way to introduce moods. Unluckily the mistake on m11M which has been played on M11M and Batman, which is m8M and not m11M are… strange
Matthew Kase –
I’m still early on in the course, but I realized that it might be difficult to learn from this course since I have ableton instead of FL studio.
Daniel Silva –
The two chord cheatsheet is very useful and practical.
Kuda Mandaza –
I am beginning to understand the things I was doing subconsciously for what they are technically.
Also, the instructor sounds cool and fun to listen to.
