Orchestral Sample Programming 02: Modern Scoring Techniques

Thinking about 'texture' as a compositional device, alongside the compositional pillars of melody, harmony, rhythm and arrangement. You've got your notes and you're arranging them - don't just think about the instruments you're going to use but also the ways in which those instruments are going to be played. What character do you want to extract from each one? How is that helping the picture?

Learn

Whether you’re here to learn new skills as a beginner, to brush up on the latest techniques in music production, or to add the final, nuanced touches to your music, learning provides a superpower.


I’ve been teaching for 25 years, alongside my work as a media composer and producer. Everything I’ve learned from my life in music is packed into the courses on this site.



Understand

Understanding is the bridge between Learning and Creativity. It’s that wonderful step you can take to find new vistas of musical possibility coming into view.


Through careful explanation, multiple musical examples and dedicated summaries for each chapter of every course, I’ll make sure that you get the information you need to help you develop your musical skills.

Create

Now it’s time to apply what you’ve learned to the creation of new musical compositions, songs and productions of your own. Your sound. Your creativity. Your music.


Regardless of the musical genres you favour, every course here is designed to give you the knowledge you need to set your creativity free. Shall we? Let's.

What's On The Menu?


For starters, a deep dive into the Art of Sampled Orchestral Programming, now across two 9.5 hour courses: Orchestral Sample Programming 01 and Orchestral Sample Programming 02: Modern Scoring Techniques. That's over 19 hours of learning. Ooof.

Next up, why not brush up on your Music Theory skills? That one's a freebie.

And speaking of free, why not download our Sample Instrument and take it wherever your imagination leads.

For Logic users, also check out the Cinematic Pads 01 collection. You can either buy it as a standalone product, or included as part of Orchestral Sample Programming 02: Modern Scoring Techniques and the Orchestral Programming Bundle.

Music Theory

Across five videos, Jono is taking you on a tour of Music Theory. It doesn’t matter whether you’re brand new to this topic, in need of a little refresher, or a seasoned pro; it never hurts to learn more about the fundamentals of how notes, scales and chords lock together. After all, they’re the currency of the music we make.
