How To Compose Music For Video Games And Film – mDecks Music
A hands-on, technique-first course built around 10 original themes that teach practical methods for writing and developing motifs, harmony, and cues for film and games. Volume 1 delivers focused, actionable lessons in a single interactive PDF for intermediate to advanced composers.
This Level 3, single-volume curriculum uses ten original themes as case studies to demonstrate harmony, modal devices, motivic development, counterpoint, and rhythmic/formal techniques. Lessons follow a piano-first workflow that translates directly to orchestration and production, with technique-focused breakdowns you can apply immediately to scoring tasks. Included is an interactive PDF with full analyses of each theme and targeted explanations of polymeter, hemiola, metric modulation, and reharmonization approaches. Recommended supplements (sold separately) expand on tonal harmony and reharmonization for deeper study.
