Resource List for Further Learning
OTHER FORTE COMPOSER ACADEMY RESOURCES
As you may know, I have other educational content besides this course, like MIDI study packs and an in-depth course on Film Scoring for Beginners, and a number of educational articles, videos, and misc other content--especially on my Youtube channel. I am also planning to create more materials in the future based on the feedback and needs of my students.
