Best Content, Highly Engaging, Completely Practical
I've completed a number of the ThinkSpace Education (TSE) short courses and am looking to start down the path of their MA in Professional Media Composition. Why? Q.uite frankly, I believe they provide the best, most highly engaging, completely practical, and relevant content anywhere. It totally lines up with how I think and like to work. I describe this as the difference between "science" and "applied science." I've always had a hard time learning the theory of something as its own thing. I find that I understand and am better able to apply theory when there's an appropriate functional context for it. This is the place where I think that TSE really excels! The instructional approach works through real-world examples that working professionals encounter, not just presenting some worked example. You get to see the whole thing! To me, it's just as important to see someone trying something, hearing that "well, that doesn't work" and then working it through to where it actually does! This is where the magic lives and why I am such a fan of TSE. I've taken more ground in the past months since working with them than I have in many years. I'm very grateful to Guy and the entire team for their work and continued efforts to produce such fabulous programs. Thank you!
Mr Michelmore is a great teacher
Mr Michelmore is a great teacher. From a few of his videos i have seen, i learn much on the form of a composition, and how make it not to be boring. Because of his advises i managed to compose a work for full orchestra on the theme of "Happy Birthday to You" with the title "Happy Birthday to You Theme and Fugue" in one movement. I would be very happy if mr Michelmore, some day, would have the kindness (and time), to hear it. I have edit it with my software and sound libraries, so that it can be heard in a very good quality and fidelity.
Short Courses Review
I've taken many of the short courses and hope to some day take the post graduate course. I love the way the courses are explained. They are clear and easy to grasp. Guy brings his sense of humour as well as his knowledge to each course load which makes for a wonderful experience in all. There is just something in the way he explains each item that clicks with me and I believe would click with anyone else. I would recommend his site and lessons to anyone looking to learn or improve their skills. With the How to write music course as well as the music theory course, I was able to broaden my knowledge. With only a year and a half of piano lessons, I was able to start improvising and creating simple songs. It has given me great courage and inspiration to continue my learning of the piano and even explore orchestration. Thank you!
Valuable information and Personable Tutors
The tutors were well informed and very personable with their participants. There were snippets of valuable information letting us know how good the full courses will be. It was also great that time was made to allow us to submit examples of our work and get feedback.
I've always wanted to learn musc theory
I've always wanted to learn music theory. Being a drummer I needed to branch out and find someone that could teach me. In my travels on Youtube I came across Guy Michelmore, of Thinkspace Education. He is witty, funny but more importantly he TEACHES me what I want to learn. His basic course on theory is well thought out and presented. He also gives you an opportunity to go deeper if you don't get it the first time through. My life is super-busy right now and I've had to lay my studies aside for a while. But as soon as I can get back to them I'll hit it hard and learn fast. Thanks Guy and Thinkspace Education. You are a blessing to me!
ThinkSpaceEducation with Guy is excellent.
ThinkSpaceEducation with Guy is a fantastic music site. With Guys enthusiasm and music knowledge the lessons are brilliant its like having a one to one. I have 2 courses going at the moment Learn Music Theory and How to Write Music both brilliant plus all the UTube lessons. Thanks Ron Cox
Love ThinkSpace Educaiton
I've bought almost a dozen courses from ThinkSpace Education. They're very well done and I've learned a lot from them. Also the YouTube videos Guy posts are very good too.
Learn Music Theory course highly recommended
I saw a few of Guy's videos on YouTube and found them funny and engaging. I decided to sign up for the Learn Music Theory course as I "compose" music of my own, but can't read music and knew little about music theory. I think the course is excellent and can return to it as often as I like. I would highly recommend it.
Great information on Trailer music
Great information on Trailer music and I've been learning a lot. ThinkSpace Education is fantastic.
These courses got me going
I was starting out with music composition - inspired by Guy Mitchelmore's wonder and eccentric Youtube videos. I am a programmer by trade and I could see that the way Guy wrote music was similar to coding, except you get an immediate cultural output. The need to dig in more into theory etc was what encouraged me to sign up to the courses. They are split into short segments that w=are easy to digest and are helpful.
