November 2022 Update (Patreon)

Hi Patrons! I just wanted to provide a brief update on things. I've been working hard on my first orchestration course, and I'm very hopeful that I can release it in a few months. Because I'm spending much of my time working on the course, that unfortunately means that I have less time to make orchestration videos on my YouTube channel. Those are my favorite videos to make, but they unfortunately take the longest to make. So, there won't be as many orchestration videos over the next 2-3 months. 

Good news though! I haven't determined the price of my upcoming orchestration course, but I've already decided to offer my patrons a very nice discount (probably around %50 off!).

And in the meantime, I'd like to request something from you! I have an idea for a future YouTube series of videos, and I'd like to request materials from you. I plan on making orchestration videos, but I need more melodies! If possible, I'd love for you to send me harmonized melodies that are roughly 8-16 measures in length. Ideally, you'll send a pdf notated score of a monophonic melody with chord symbols above the melody. Your chords can be very simple (like triads) or very complex. I also ask that you provide a tempo, and an expressive character word (like "playful" or "agitated"). 

The series will be all about creating orchestral textures from scratch. These videos will be on my YouTube channel, and you can remain anonymous if you like! 

If possible, I'd like to receive the first batch of your melodies before January 1st! You can send multiple melodies if you like. Email me @ heppelmusic@gmail.com with melodies or questions.

Thanks so much, and thanks for your continued support! Exciting things to come!

Alex
