How to get the most out of this book

The goal is to create music that fits your visuals while sounding polished. To get the best results, you need to be creating music on a regular basis. Composing music is just like playing an instrument. If you want to get good, you need to practice. Unlike playing an instrument, when you're composing music, you're less focused on the technique and more focused on the end result of how the music fits the project you're composing for.

You need to think in terms of the big picture about how to design a song for specific emotions, how the song fits the visuals, and how everything relates to your client's vision. Do these things well, and you're on your way to becoming a composer.

This book will give you many tips and tricks, but you still need experience to learn. To apply the lessons in this book, you'll benefit most by having a project to compose for. I recommend finding a moving visual that needs music. This could be a video, video game, or live performance. Then you can directly apply and relate the skills you pick up in this book to your own circumstances.
