Hi, I’m Michael Whittaker, and as a full-time film composer, I’ve scored over 300 TV shows and movies, including The Power Rangers, The Ninja Turtles, The New Addams Family, and many others. I have also licensed hundreds of songs and cues for film and advertising worldwide.
I have assembled an incredible teaching team of working orchestrators, musicians, and technology experts for this course. All of the teaching team are involved in large scale film scoring projects and have many years of real world experience.
Chances are you found this and are interested in learning more about film scoring and unlocking your creative potential outside of just playing gigs or producing tracks for artists. I can’t wait to help you on your journey and bring out the potential in your music, and train you to be a SUCCESS!
