Do You Want To Know How To Get Your Trailer Music Ready for Those Big Hollywood Trailers?
This in depth video course is a behind the scenes look at the setup, thought process and tools I used to land huge hollywood movie trailers. From Captain America, WandaVision, and Bladerunner 2049 to Angry Birds 2, Come Away and several Call of Duty trailers.
You Are Literally Watching Me Write a Track From Scratch (with every decision explained)
I am not one to brag, although these types of pages make it kind of necessary, but I have landed well over 100 placements, TV ads, movie trailers, feature films etc.
I still remember the day I won my first placement, and it felt F*CKING AWESOME!
It still does!
So what has this got to do with Hybrid Trailer Music?
Well, for me it is the white whale of trailer music.
Most of us get into trailer music because of the amazing hybrid music we hear on the big Marvel, Star Wars, DC trailers right!?
So on that day when I finally won two Captain America spots - I felt like I had conquered the world of trailer music.
I had reached my Everest.
The comic book nerd in me was saying "you could at least have won X-men dude, but still pretty good"
And then something amazing started to happen.
I started to win lots and lots of big trailers using my hybrid trailer music.
All of a sudden the world of sound design and orchestral writing were one and it was sweeeeeeeeet.
I felt like I finally understood what the trailer houses were looking for when it came to huge sounding tracks.
That's what I want to share with you in this course.
I Hold Your Hand Through Each And Every Decision, Showing You Exactly Why and How Hybrid Trailer Music Works
This was the way I wanted to teach trailer music.
Showing you everything I do and not holding back. With the odd pun thrown in here just so I don't go completely crazy when I am writing.
When I started out as an aspiring composer YouTube was not nearly as amazing as it is now. There were no influencers or podcasts or tutorial sites (that I could find anyway).
I felt like I had to do this all alone and with only my intuition and ears to guide me.
I wished I had a composer who was further down the line of success show me how things were done.
And that's the gift I am giving to you.
I want to pull back the curtain on these huge sounding Hollywood trailers and let you in the big "secrets" that only the pros know...
[coughs sarcastically]
I want to help you to nail this genre like hundreds of my students before you who are now writing for trailer music companies and getting placements.
"The pure joy that Rich has and exudes. It's infectious - and super motivating"
Whether you are just starting out, or looking to grow as a music composer/producer, the TMS give you the tools, the support and the experience anyone would need to become successful as a working composer.
As a result of Rich's course, my work is of a much higher quality, and I am so much faster. I think my structure is way better - pace too.

"I would not be where I am now without Richard"
I love watching Richard explain his process WHILE he is composing and producing.
It has given me some clarity on the things I need to focus on while producing stuff. I went from having literally no trailer experience to just finishing my tenth custom.
I would not be where I am now without Richard. And I don't just mean doing customs, but simply the skill level I'm at right now. I'm very grateful I came across your course :)

Hi, I'm Richard Pryn
I write music for a living. Mostly for trailer music, which is where I get 99% of my placements from.
I am also the co-founder of the music production school, Protege. I write piano music all the time, draw little comics, and have written some books on creativity.
You can learn more about how I got into this wonderful career in the first episode of The Trailer Music Composer's Podcast.
Frequently asked questions
Yes you do need to be able to use a DAW so you can follow along with the videos.
No. As long as you are competent in your DAW of choice you will be able to follow along the exact steps I do.
The wonderful thing about this, and all of my courses is that I try to steer clear of getting too deep into theory. You will be at an advantage if you know how to harmonise the major/minor scales but aside from that you won't need any theory.
The Trailer Music Course is the foundation course in writing trailer music; showing you all the ins and outs that can be applied to all types of trailer music. The Hybrid Trailer Music Course shows you how you can take that knowledge and write amazing and original hybrid cues.
I am so blessed to have had the amazing mixing and mastering engineer Taz Mattar produce a masterclass in Trailer Music mixing and mastering. He shows you how to mix and master your music to a commercial-ready standard within the course.
Of course not! What I can say is that of all the composers and producers who have taken this course, the ones that are getting work as trailer music composers are the ones who put the hours into their work. They also happen to be super nice people (industry secret there)
