Core Music Fundamentals From a Working Composer

This free micro-course is taught by Guy Michelmore, an Emmy-nominated composer known for work on Marvel and The Jungle Book, and delivered through ThinkSpace Education. It's aimed squarely at beginner composers who want a solid grounding before building more advanced skills.

What's Covered

Writing melodies
Building chord progressions
Creating rhythm and texture
Structure and form
Developing musical ideas

The course is organized across modules — Introduction and Workflow, Harmony and Chords, Melody, Rhythm, Texture, and Structure and Form — closing with a wrap-up. Learning happens through video lessons and course texts, reinforced by interactive assignments (called MinusONEs) and downloadable project files, so there's practical work to do rather than passive watching.
