Ryan Leach | WRITE MUSIC FOR ORCHESTRA IN 6 STEPS How to plan, sketch, orchestrate and produce orchestral music @RyanLeach | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this video I walk through the 6 distinct stages of my process for writing an orchestral track.
📚 For an outstanding course check out Orchestrating the Line on Scoreclub: scoreclub.net/?aff=2
📚 For a great book on orchestration check out The Study of Orchestration by Samuel Adler amzn.to/3ab0EsO
When you have a clear roadmap ahead of you, even a very complex and difficult task can become manageable and fun!
