How to Start Making Music

To kick off Start Making Music Month, composer Ryan Thomas will talk about the gear you'll need, the software and virtual instruments you'll need, and then build a piece step by step so you can see how easy it is to use ComposerCloud+. Plus we'll give you a FREE MIDI file download so you can check out the session for yourself.
