From piano sketch to orchestra. Clear orchestration without muddiness. Learn by writing.
George Marshall (PhD) is an award-winning composer with 60+ film/game projects and an orchestration teacher to 250+ students. He blends academic depth with a practical studio mindset: Forgotten Sea (2018) and Haunted Emotions (2018) — so you learn composition, orchestration and arranging as one language—not four separate subjects.
If you’re looking for a music composition and orchestration programme that unites melody, harmony, form/structure, orchestration and arranging, you’re in the right place. This short, focused course studies Grieg’s Morning Mood from the inside—so you understand how lyrical ideas breathe, how textures stay clear, and how to turn a modest musical thought into a complete piece. It’s score study for composers who want techniques they can actually reuse, in notation or a DAW.
