Hi, I’m Michael Whittaker, and as a full-time film composer, I’ve scored over 300 TV shows and movies, including The Power Rangers, The Ninja Turtles, The New Addams Family, and many others. I have also licensed hundreds of songs and cues for film and advertising worldwide.
I have assembled an incredible teaching team of working orchestrators, musicians, and technology experts for this course. All of the teaching team are involved in large scale film scoring projects and have many years of real world experience.
Chances are, you found this and are interested in learning more about film scoring and unlocking your creative potential outside of just playing gigs or producing tracks for artists. I can’t wait to help you on your journey and bring out the potential in your music, and train you to be a SUCCESS!
The Complete Film Composer will help you achieve your goals by training you about the amazing world of music for film from the ground up. This program is MASSIVE, and frankly, much of it isn’t even adequately covered in a university program.

No matter where you are in your musical journey, you can start this program.
All you need is a computer or laptop, a DAW (Like Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer, Etc.) and an introductory sample library that you can purchase for as little as $29!
This program is all about learning the Art of the Score, influencing the audience’s emotions, and creating the perfect music that serves the film.
While you will be learning how to make the most incredible mockups with samples, the most important thing to know is how to create music that augments the scene.
You can grow in your sound libraries but The Complete Film Composer will make you a better composer. People who have taken my class have started out with little film scoring knowledge and are now scoring real-world projects and MAKING MONEY!
University programs at Berklee, UCLA, USC, etc., are tens of thousands of dollars!
This content is not just for beginners. It is comprehensive enough, even for more experienced musicians.
A university degree can be great, but no one will ever ask you for it in the real world. Many people take this program to prepare for university coursework.
University programs are often light on the real-world business training, and what the cutting-edge technology and samples are.
I have taken a look at several celebrity-composer training and masterclasses. While they may be inspiring, and have some great points, there is a huge problem!
With other online film scoring programs, you watch and listen. With The Complete Film Composer, you will actually be scoring real-world scenes.
Learning by doing is the best!
We have filmed many scenes to teach you scoring in various genres such as action, romantic, suspense, comedy, etc.
This course covers the entire orchestra, the technology of scoring, and the business of being a composer. This program has over 20 hours of content and training!
You are learning from a respected, successful working composer with two decades of experience!
Learn in a supportive and encouraging environment no matter what your level! Get real, honest feedback on your cues.
Go at your own pace – the program works with your schedule.
We teach you how to go out and MAKE MONEY!
The Complete Film Composer is a fraction of the cost of a University program.
While reading music is awesome, there are many, many SUPER SUCCESSFUL and CREATIVE film composers that don’t. Start this journey where you are. In other words, I encourage you to begin that process, but it is not at all necessary for you to benefit from this program.
The Complete Film Composer is a go-at-your-own-pace program! I encourage students to be writing every day, but this is definitely something you can work through in your spare time! Or you can dive into it with all you’ve got to accelerate your success!
This program offers an encouraging environment that will foster your ultimate success in film scoring. At the same time, I will provide you with honest feedback and won’t sugarcoat areas I think you can improve on, but I will also coach you and make sure your cues are on track. You will even be able to see some of your colleagues’ music for the same scenes (anonymously, so no pressure!). My goal is to make you competitive in the real world. It is an absolute game-changer in learning! The feedback session is an additional $199
