Thank you for this course, it really helped me along! It’s the second song I ever actually finished, so I’m really happy about that!
Hi Arn, I’m at 60% of the course now and I feel like I won months and years of knowledge in just a few hours with those lessons. Before these lessons, I felt like it was blurry and dark on several composing points in my head as I didn’t know what were the right choices to take and why. It’s amazing how this answers a lot of questions I‘ve had in my mind. I think the quality of my future songs will be highly improved and I just want to thank you a lot.

Hey Arn and fellow composers! Just wanted to start by saying a HUGE thank you to you Arn for putting this course together and really putting yourself out there. It takes a lot of guts to do this course in the way you have (I certainly know I wouldn’t want people to see all my mistakes and failures with the fly-on-the-wall approach you decided to take) and you kept true to your intention. I studied music at university and, although I learnt a huge amount there, I came out feeling totally ill-equipped for the real world of composing with no real id READ MORE
George Montagu (Composer)
Before taking this course (3 years ago already!), my biggest issues when writing music were structuring and actually finishing my tracks. Arn’s practical approach to writing has made the process from having an idea to a finished product so much easier. From creating contrast and balance to properly orchestrating tracks, from creating templates to writing effective melodies, this course is packed with a lot of valuable content, and has for sure kickstarted my career when it first came out. Every now and then I come back to the course, and still READ MORE
Lisa Van Hal (Composer)
Before taking The Cinematic course I struggled to finish a track, but not only that I found myself falling back to the same old orchestration techniques that I was used to. Arn takes you through how to utilise a vast array of different orchestrating techniques. Including chord voicing, leading notes, chord variations and so much more. This course opened my eyes and gave me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and my compositions are all the better for it
Andrew Skipper (Composer)
Arn. Thank you for this amazing course! I don’t know how to express how desperate and disappointed I was ’cause I had this writer’s block that I just couldn’t get rid off, it was really hard for me to make a track that could last more than a minute! I started this course a couple weeks ago and since day one it was an eye opener for me, and although my track isn’t perfect, this is a BIG WIN for me! Still lots to learn and improve but for today, I’m feeling amazing! lol THANK YOU.
Ricardo Robles (Composer)
As a life-long singer-songwriter, I’ve always written music solely on guitar and played by ear. Whenever I wanted to produce a new song, I had to hire studio musicians and an engineer/producer. Then along came Evenant, and the wonderful From Idea To Finished Recording composing course. I’ve always loved orchestral music, but never imagined I could write it myself. Now I can, and I do! And it’s so rewarding. This course introduced me to all the tools and techniques needed to create and produce professional-quality tracks on my laptop. READ MORE

PLATINUM TIER BENEFITS
When we got started out in the creative industries, one of the hardest parts of making progress was the lack of proper feedback and guidance from existing professionals in the industry.
The feedback we did get was fairly superficial and did not really take our personal goals, aspirations and unique strengths into the equation.
We want to change this with the Evenant Platinum Tier. We don’t only want to give our students access to weekly feedback on their assignments, but to dive into your personal goals and aspirations, and find out how we can help you reach your unique goals – and give weekly feedback based on this.
This will be achieved through a personal 30 minute private call with one of our tutors in the beginning of the program, where the aim is to to map out your goals, your previous experience and strengths, and what you seek to get out of this program.
We will then use this as the foundation to give personal feedback on your weekly assignments, give you an exclusive access to our tutors and course author, and assist you in any way we can.
After the 8 weeks is up, we want you to gain a sense of clarity of what to focus on, how you can improve, and how you can bring the most value to the industry to make yourself an attractive resource.
