Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring

Did you know Hans Zimmer is a self-taught composer?

If you've ever wondered how he comes up with his brilliant themes for characters like Jack Sparrow and Batman, then you might be interested to know about his first-ever online class, created by the maestro himself in collaboration with MasterClass: Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring (partner program).

MasterClass offers online courses designed and taught by top-caliber instructors like Dustin Hoffman, Christina Aguilera, and deadmau5 in subjects like acting, singing, filmmaking, electronic music production, and, of course, film scoring.

In his course, Hans Zimmer teaches how to tell a story with music, gives tips for scoring to picture, and discusses how he uses synths to achieve his signature sound. The course includes lifetime access to 31 video lessons, a downloadable class workbook, and membership to the class community, where you can upload assignments and get feedback from other students.
