Masterclass:: Hans Zimmer

This is for the more advanced music student maybe.  There is not much discussion about notes, chords, or theory. This course is going to go more into the theory of why you might write something for a particular thing.  What is the story you are trying to tell?  There are some poignent stories to set the mood or timbre of the conversation.  While this is great and very inspiring in it's own way, the course is a little light in video material.  There are not many videos compare to others on music.

Great quote from Dave Weckl

What a great quote and great attitude towards music.


”It is my goal to inspire as many young (and not so young) people as possible to want to play music, whether it be drums or another instrument. With all the problems of the world today, I feel this is my way of contributing a positive action towards spiritual happiness, which music can be a big part of, if you let it. So parents, if your child has a talent for music, please allow them the opportunity to develop that talent!”
