🪴 About 2023 - 2025 - Music Composition Classes

Oct 12, 2024

In the winter in 2023, I decided to take a break from art and found music composition classes by Silun Lee, a game & cinematic music composer known for his work on popular AAA Korean games such as Lost Ark, Black Desert, Lies of P, and many more.

My goal was to learn how to fully utilize Cubase to create full orchestral pieces, as I had previously been working mostly with piano, strings, and only a few of other vst’s on my own. Also, I had been wanting to write larger scale pieces in the future for my personal projects.

Initially, I thought a few months of learning would be sufficient, but his teaching system was far more in-depth, well-organized, and much much longer than I anticipated!

As of today, it’s already been 10 months, though it feels like only 3-5 months have passed. When you are deeply focused on doing something, you really lose track of time! I’ve been pouring countless hours on the assignments each week, and when I open my earlier Cubase files, I can already see so many things I could’ve done better; this visible improvement motivates me to keep putting in the time and effort to continue leveling up my skills.

I truly feel fortunate to have randomly searched for “game orchestral music composition lessons” last fall and to have found such an inspiring, fun, and disciplined teacher. It’s been an intense yet fun rewarding learning process, and I plan to keep putting in the effort to further develop my skills :)
