I'm not kidding

​

Go at your own pace. 

 

People think it takes forever to learn how to write good music. But they’re wrong. 

 

I'm saying this as a composer with over 20 commissions, *peer review approval*, and thousands of listeners on Spotify and TikTok! 

 

Did you know that writing music is a lot easier than you think? You can save time and money learning to compose with my methods.

 

You can do this! 

​

Jessica T. had this to say about my teaching methods as they were being developed: 

​

“Through his patience and passion in the world of music, Dr. Strobel was able to use his expertise and experience to help me gain the confidence I needed to improve my songwriting and musical ability.”-incidentally, this student was accepted to Berklee

​

My students efficiently learn to write music with my WRITE MUSIC NOW method.

 

Even I couldn’t believe it! I'm definitely not kidding.  

 

It requires no extensive experience in music.

​

I recently got a 10-year-old student to write a good melody after a week or two of lessons. 

 

Still don't think you can't write a good melody either?  

 

My method fast-tracks your progress writing music. 

 

Composers and songwriters have spent years studying music in college without any useful direction. Don't believe me? Ask the hundreds of unhappy students who majored in composition. They often can't write music as well as they'd like. How do I know this? I have judged composition competitions.

 

Worst of all, many composer students feel uninspired. They look at a page as if they were staring into the abyss. I can give you that spark! 

 

Too many students have wasted thousands of dollars doing things that are hopeless. I was there once, myself. I was resentful about it until I discovered healthier and more efficient ways to write music. 

​

I don't want that to be you! 

​

I can lead you in the right direction in 90-120 days online.

 

It’s possible, because I know what not to do, and what actually works. 

 

This is going to shock you, but I reject a "do whatever you want" approach to composition. That will get you nowhere.

 

Here's the reason:

​

There are ways to write the music you like, whether it is orchestral music or a piece of pop music. Each method to creating a good piece within a style is unique. 

 

You should be learning that type of approach!

​

In my course, I eliminated the stuff that doesn’t help you achieve your goals!

 

There's a big push on values instead of skills at many institutions. That's fine...as long as you agree with them and follow their path. 

​

If you want to be a college professor, this isn’t the course for you. Perhaps my Resilient Composer course will help you.

 

If you just want to learn how to write music, this is definitely the course for you! 

 

Only a little bit of music theory is needed in my method. We’ll fill in the gaps with what is important. 

 

I’ve studied what makes excellent music. I’ve listened to thousands of songs in the Billboard Hot 100. I have a doctorate in music composition and have been recognized in classical music competitions. In 2023 alone, I got 79,000 streams of my music on Spotify. 

​

Let me reiterate: all styles are welcome. We'll adapt this course for you!
