Music composition courses can help you learn melody creation, harmony development, orchestration techniques, and the structure of various musical forms. You can build skills in arranging music for different ensembles, writing for specific instruments, and developing your unique voice as a composer. Many courses introduce software tools like Sibelius or Finale for notation, as well as digital audio workstations like Ableton Live or Logic Pro, that support producing and refining your compositions.
