I'm still going through the list, but just wanted to add that I think you guys should check out Ed Buller's list. First and last link in particular: Rick Beato and Adam Neely are must-see's.
I really like Adam Neely - he's like the Vsauce of music. You never know what he's going to talk about, and it might not always be relevant to composers, but it's super interesting IMO.
I have most of Mike's classes. If you're into TV and film scoring definitely get "How to score a film in 7 days" and "Scoring 1". They where the most useful and practical for me.
I don't know. I've bought a view Udemy courses (in the design field) that I thought were very helpful. It really helps to watch the sample videos and look at the reviews to try and see what you're getting. Not all of it is junk. And the tutorial videos on other sites (Groove3, etc.) done by pros like Kenny Gioia, are excellent. As for prices, especially on Udemy, that high price is rarely charged. There always seems to be a sale on.Though, as I explained in a thread a couple months back when someone was asking what courses people have purchased, I find "low-quality, high price" is kinda the status quo on online courses.
Don't expect a traditional course like you'd see from Groove3 or whatever. It's basically just Verta going through the score, step by step, and his thought processes, etc. And it happens to be a very, very good video.How to Score in 7 Days

I find Lehman's book to be the best introduction to neo-Riemannian theory that we have. (The theory was developed to makes sense of the chromatic music of late 19th music, but is in many respects better suited to recent film music.) Highly recommended for anyone interested in the "logic" of harmony based around chromatic mediants (among other things). Scott Murphy has an excellent article that catalogues common Neo-Reimannian moves in film music. This appears in The Oxford Handbook to Film Music Studies, edited by David Neumeyer.Meanwhile, in Frank Lehman's (excellent) "Hollywood Harmony", we have this wonderfully useful demonstration of how simple Neo-Remannian analysis illuminates some very characteristic Hollywood gestures that resist conventional tonal analysis. The sort of gesture, for instance used to create a sense of awe or wonder, of the mystical or religious, functioning precisely by stepping outside of the preceding key structure. He thereby frames such gestures moment when an emphasis on the sonority of the chord (progression) overwhelms its conventional diatonic functioning.

Mike is one of the best teachers of composition. I don't know the Udemy course in composition. But I cannot believe they would be better than Verta's. Mike Verta is a straight shooter. Listen what he says and you'll be on the way to becoming a better composer. And a better musician.
Alan Belkin's "Musical Composition Craft and Art" makes an excellent companion to all of this.
I really like Mike's approach of feeling his way through things experientially, but there's I think it's greatly enhanced and sharpened by texts that craft their pedagogy more finely. And Alan's book is really is a finely crafted, modern take. There's just no reason not to read something like this along side Mike's videos.
Can anyone tell me what the code is for the 40% off on Mike's courses? I lost my email. Thanks.
