As a composer, there are many different tools in your tool belt that can bring interest and originality to your music. You can use time signatures to add complexity, tonality to add emotional pull, rhythm to add drive, or something else to create some other unique dynamic.
Soundfly’s online course, Introduction to the Composer’s Craft, will take you through the essential elements of modern composing. You’ll explore the beat, time signatures, rhythm, tonality, timbre, texture, and structure, with key examples to demonstrate along the way, as well as weekly personalized feedback from an expert Soundfly Mentor. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to employ these tools more effectively in your compositions.
Soundfly courses are interactive, practice-based, motivational, and inspirational, and these are just some of the reasons why our students have continually come back to us with positive feedback, even more positive results, and often to take more courses in other fields.

What Students Are Saying About the Course
“The detail in the song studies was amazing. This was extremely helpful. My course advisor was excellent. His feedback was extremely helpful and this allowed me to get the most out of the course. The coursework itself is great, but the advisor is what makes all the difference between these and other courses online.”
– Kylie Couper (Mentor: Ian Temple)
“The most important thing I learned was working in different time signatures, as this is something I don’t do enough.”
– Ben Harris (Mentor: Tim Maryon)
“The course was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the videos and song studies and Ian’s feedback was very helpful and motivational. It’s certainly made me want to keep composing and honing my abilities.”
– Jeff Green (Mentor: Ian Temple)
“I have taken three courses with Soundfly and have been very impressed by the quality of the course and more importantly, the quality of the feedback. The deep feedback and analysis I get from my mentors has been wonderful. I do not ever recall getting this level of feedback nor support in previous online courses (or live courses for that matter.)”
– Jeffrey Yuan (Mentor: Ian Temple)
