Secret Composer is really the BEST!!! Every end of a chapter I would like to email you to thank you. I am a professional musician but music first is a dream and then it becomes business. You teach us how to make our dreams come true!!!

Actors have a game they play to practice, like charades. You get assigned an emotion and then you have to express it – using just your face, without speaking – and the other players try to guess it. I don’t know how many composers here have the skills to do that with music. Can you write a 5-second cue that immediately communicates the mood “magical”? Or “noir”? How about harder ones like “angry” or “reminiscent”?
…..This is what the Quick Tricks are all about. Each Quick Trick cue is a miniature score that combines a half dozen musical elements. Then the lesson dissects each bit, says why that part and that instrument help create the effect/mood/color that they do, and shows how they all fit together. In a word, this is really effective teaching.
…..Finally there are Composition Moods which is basically doing the Quick Trick technique on a much larger scale with some of the most common moods you’ll encounter in film music. What can I say, these are just great.
