Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and I introduce myself, I'am italian, 29 years old, I have always been passionate about music, and I would like to make this passion a real job! I know that there are companies that employ composers, such as video game manufacturers, where you can be sure of getting your salary fixed and being a happy musical worker. First of all I think it is important to get noticed, you must have skills but above all a certificate attesting to your skills. So I'll ask you an important question:
Do any of you know a good online music production school, famous, well recognized all over the world, and affordable?
Thank you all!

There are a lot of them. My advice. Learn through doing. Invest is some rudimentary gear and software and start working on it.
Here is NA there is Berklee on coursera. They are well known.

The ‘real’ Berklee courses certainly aren’t affordable .. the coursera ones are just teasers and you don’t get much if any in the way of instructor feedback.
Udemy has a great course on video game music that I’m taking right now but it is not a certification. https://www.udemy.com/gamemusiccourse/

If I had the ambition to learn and the time to invest, I'd enrol in the deadmau5 or Hans Zimmer masterclasses. Me personally I get distracted too easily by SM and conspiracy videos, and well, I'd rather be entertained than be an entertainer.

There are some gaming SDKs out there that you can learn, to code your own Indie game and place your own music in. That would be one of the best things to put on your resume apart from a real gig at a development house.

Not sure I agree with that. A good resume is probably more valuable than any kind of certificate. I don't think anyone would employ a person with a certificate and a sparsely populated resume.Dj Fugo wrote:you must have skills but above all a certificate attesting to your skills.
Personally I would start working on a resume, continue to improve whatever skills you think need improving, and get some significant work on the resume, even if you have to work for free or little money to get things started.

agreed. certificates in music are a joke. certificates are only needed if you want to be a piano teacher and teach from home and you need something to place in your music room. all other "certificates" are next to useless. not saying you won't learn anything in any of those certificate programs -- you probably will, but going into it for the certificate only is a big old waste of time.Deep Purple wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 2:43 amNot sure I agree with that.

once you finish the program and get your certificate, you will be starting from scratch. its best to start building that resume as soon as possible.

So you are passionate about music and want to cash in on that, maybe try to run a label, so finish some management course, seems like you are more businessmen than artist.

What musical experience do you have? Do you play any instruments? What sort of music do you make/want to make?

Passoin is the most important!
To keep it alive, get an instrument and a teacher in your neighbourhood. Online won't show you the real tricks (sometimes called life...).

advice : wait a bit for udemy's next 'everything for $10' (or whatever) sale. they're very regular, i wouldnt ever pay the $/£ 50-200 'full' price that stuff gets tagged with the rest of the time.generaldiomedes wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 11:00 pm Udemy has a great course on video game music that I’m taking right now but it is not a certification. https://www.udemy.com/gamemusiccourse/

One important thing you need to learn is music is not just a sequence of notes & words, set to a rhythm. It's actually magic. :p
