Crafting the Score | Learning Orchestration – Reimagined
What if orchestration wasn’t a mystery, but a method? What if your MIDI mockups could leap from the screen and come alive on the scoring stage, not just sounding right, but feeling right?
Introducing Crafting the Score, a complete orchestration course designed to demystify the art of translating MIDI into professional, studio-ready scores for film, television, and games. This isn’t just theory. This is the real world – where creative vision meets professional execution, and where every decision matters.
Start Your Journey
60 lessons. 9 hours of curated content. A single mission: to equip you with the skills to orchestrate confidently in a modern scoring environment. Led by acclaimed orchestrator Tristan Noon, Crafting the Score invites you behind the curtain of the scoring process, from raw MIDI to live session, from digital mockup to polished Pro Tools session. You’ll experience the workflow as it truly is: nuanced, collaborative, and detail-driven.
Through three immersive modules, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand and analyse a composer’s MIDI demo
- Transform digital sketches into expressive orchestral scores
- Orchestrate for the microphone — not just the page
- Prepare professional scores, parts, and session materials
- Confidently deliver music that performs beautifully under pressure
This course doesn’t just teach orchestration. It teaches why orchestration matters — and how to make yours sing with clarity, depth, and emotion.
The Curriculum
Module I: The Principles of Orchestration
Step into the orchestrator’s shoes. Learn how to dissect MIDI, interpret a composer’s intent, and translate ideas into real-world scores. This module goes beyond theory, anchoring each lesson in practical application — giving you tools you can use from day one.
Module II: Orchestrating for the Studio
Orchestration changes when you’re writing for the microphone. This module explores the differences between concert and scoring environments, teaching you how to sculpt texture, timing, and tone with precision. You’ll also gain a toolkit of techniques used daily by professionals across film, TV, and games.
Module III: Real World Orchestration
Here’s where it all comes together. Follow the entire process — from cleaning up MIDI to orchestrating full sections, preparing session materials, and witnessing the cue performed by a world-class recording orchestra. You’ll observe every detail, including how to communicate effectively on the scoring stage.
For Composers. For Students. For Professionals.
Whether you’re:
- A composer looking to orchestrate your own work and reduce production costs
- A student eager to learn practical, hireable skills
- A professional wanting to collaborate better with orchestrators
- Or someone who simply wants to elevate their mockups and recording sessions
…this is the course you’ve been waiting for. You don’t need a five-figure degree. You need guidance, clarity, and experience that Crafting The Score can provide.
