Michael offers several ways for up and coming composers to learn from him, from joining a great community, to getting video feedback on a track, to having a personal chat with him.

I highly recommend anyone going into the trailer music space to consider joining the Michael Maas community and enrolling in his courses!

Marcus "Da Fingaz" Manderson

Composer, Producer

Michael's video tutorials are very insightful. It was definitely important for me to learn the basic structure of trailer music. That is very great. The tutorial for the mastering process is also very helpful. Here Michael shows how to master a track for the publisher in a very simple way. My productive time is now higher and time-consuming processes have been halved. In Module-1 Michael explains the economic factor in a very simple way. This topic is a great important part so that you can live as a composer. The course is an investment in your own future as a composer.

Michael's hands-on approach to teaching has really helped me step up my production game.

After just a couple of sessions, I had clear directives and a deep understanding of how to get my tracks to the next level.

Highly recommended!
