Hey everyone! I recently launched an online education site called Forte Composer Academy, and as one of my initial releases I have launched an online course that teaches how to set up a composing workstation, control Virtual Instruments like a pro, and create realistic and compelling music on your computer. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/how-to-compose-with-midi-and-virtual-instruments
THINGS THAT ARE COVERED IN THIS COURSE
This 28 lesson/15+ hour long video course course is intended primarily for beginner-to-intermediate VI-based composers, but I recently (as of Spring 2022) decided to offer the three parts of this course as individual volumes (and for a lower price) for those who are interested in only part of the instruction offered. For more info, you can visit my store: https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/
MAY 2022 UPDATE: This course is currently on sale for $240 (was $475). The sale will end on May 16th, at which point the course price will rise to it's new "normal" of $300. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/how-to-compose-with-midi-and-virtual-instruments
Thanks!
