Film and Video Game Scoring
Visuals may draw you in, but sound completes the picture. Learn the ins and outs of scoring for movies, television, video games, and other media through our state-of-the-art facilities, experienced faculty, and visiting artist masterclasses. Our wide-ranging courses train young composers in the art of storytelling through music and sound effects.
The TAC Curriculum includes Orchestration for the Media Composer, Film Scoring: Techniques & Analysis, Game Development, and Media Scoring Workshop. Classes are designed to help young composers develop a unique voice in their music and build a portfolio to gain the skills they need to work in the film and video game industry of today.
Every Semester TAC students get real-world video game composing experience with support from Sony Playstation Studios through the Sony Project. Recent guest artists include movie composer Michael Abels (Get Out), Peter Scaturro, the (Sony Interactive Entertainment director of music), and film and game orchestrator Tim Davies (Frozen) (The Last of Us) (Ant Man).
This coursework prepares students for professional opportunities across the board from score prep and orchestration to feature film and AAA composition.
The Conservatory is absolutely amazing, some of the best facilities I have ever seen.”
