UreMusic Membership

We're very excited to announce that after nearly two decades of teachers composers how to compose music, the principles and concepts learned in music composition lessons have been compiled into three highly-effective textbooks. And, they are all available to download immediately (DRM Free) from our website. The three completed texts work together to allow composers to create an intensive composition program that produces real results.

Already paid for a book? Send an email to submit@uremusic.com along with a copy of your receipt, and you'll get a credit to purchase the membership worth at least the cost of your purchase. This applies to purchases made at any authorized vendor.

This subscription is required for all music composition students who are taking private lessons. An application is not required to enroll in lessons, but it's highly recommended.

2017 Lesson Periods

Fall Session: Aug 28, 2017 - Dec 9, 2017

The lesson period is the timeframe that you can expect to take lessons. Depending on the number of lessons you choose, you'll be able to take 1, 2, 3, or 4 lessons each week. 

Lessons follow a typical university schedule, so this means there will occasionally be breaks. However, you will always get the number of lessons that you pay for.

Sessions typically occur three times per year in the Spring, Summer*, and Fall.

Stage 1: The Elements of Music Composition

The Elements of Music Composition provides a philosophy of music composition that goes beyond music theory to help composers conceptualize the separate subjects of music composition, including music theory, orchestration, instrumentation, counterpoint, and form. Music composition study has long been in need of a comprehensive system that brings all of these components together in a single, unified theory that doesn't change based on the trends of the time. This text provides deep, underlying principles that can apply to music throughout the centuries. It's a vital text for any composer who has studied music composition but still fails to understand how the various disciplines are linked together.

Stage 2: Music Composition Technique Builder

After reading The Elements of Music Composition, the next step is to start building technique that can be used to compose music. The Music Composition Technique Builder takes students through several exercises that are designed to help composers establish a solid musical technique. Start the path towards mentally imagining your own compositions and getting away from the keyboard or notation program to create your musical works. These techniques have been used over the years with great success to help student composers develop exceptional technique.

Stage 3: The Craft of Music Composition - Level 1

The next stage in the process is to begin composing music. This text takes students through the process of composing a musical work from start to finish. The result is a highly-structured course that helps students to realize a real, tangible product from their efforts -- an original music composition. This course is designed to help composers avoid many of the common mistakes to create a musical work to be proud of.

Free Updates and DRM Free

Unlike our products offered elsewhere, the courses available directly through Gumroad offer free updates for the life of the product. With the UreMusic Membership, this also includes new editions. This offer is not available for individually purchased textbooks.

Students may also consider purchasing the annual subscription that gives students access to all of the updates and new editions as soon as they are made available. The DRM-free products make it possible to print worksheets as they are available and use the product on any number of devices.
