Transform your writing process with a proven step-by-step system that keeps your music flowing and helps you finish tracks your proud of - fast
✔ You’ve collected dozens, maybe hundreds of unfinished loops, motifs and chord progressions
✔ You get a spark of inspiration… then hit a wall the moment you try to turn it into a full piece
✔ Your orchestration sounds thin or unbalanced, even when you follow tutorials
✔ No matter how much time you spend, your track never reaches the finish line
It’s not because you’re not talented.
It’s because most composers were never taught a clear, step-by-step system for actually finishing music.
You’re not alone…..and once you have the right framework, everything changes.
I'm Simon from Composing Academy, and I've spent years studying why some composers consistently create amazing music while others stay stuck in the 'loop cycle'.
The secret isn't talent. It's not expensive gear. It's not even formal education.
The composers who succeed all follow the same battle-tested process. They don't reinvent the wheel with every piece. They have a framework that guides them from initial idea to finished masterpiece.
Introducing: The CMOS Cinematic Composing System
This isn't another theory-heavy course taught by someone who's never worked in the real world...
CMOS (Chords, Melody, Orchestration, Structure) is the exact framework I've used to:
•Score films starring Christian Slater, Donald Sutherland & Kevin Hart
•Create Music that's been featured in thousands of TV Broadcasts worldwide
