It’s challenging as a music composer to practice individual aspects of music creation without having to create a full idea in the process.
This makes it hard to get mass repetition on specific skills such as melody writing, harmony or counterpoint, which is essential to grow.
That’s why we created a set of 50+ musical puzzles to help you practice a given skill over and over, only focusing on one thing at a time.
The puzzles in “Vol 1: Cinematic” allows you to practice writing melodies, counter melodies, chord progressions, ostinatos and textures and rhythmic writing in a focused and entertaining way.
You’ll also find video tutorials, samples, and ear training exercises to help you identify and fix issues in your orchestrations.
With Producer Puzzles Vol 1, we wanted to brings you a fun and practical way to refine cornerstone cinematic writing skills.
Let’s dive in.
