If you're interested in film scoring challenges or want to see my workflow for writing cinematic music quickly, this video breaks down my entire process. Watch as I layer strings, brass, and percussion to build a hero theme before the timer hits zero.

This exercise is fantastic for breaking writer's block and training your ears to make faster decisions.
