​@@masterthescore Hey, I was wondering: - is there a break down on the differences between both JRPG composing courses? - How they compare in content? - Is the first necessary to take the second course? Etc. Unfortunately, one course is a lot of money for my currently. But, it looks incredible and Joe Hisaishi is my musical hero. I have very strong theoretical knowledge. So, I want to make sure I choose the right one.

If you think your theory is strong you can probably dive into part two. There are a few times we say “as we covered in part one” but I don’t think anything that would really trip you up

I wish there were more content on melody writing. There are tons of harmony videos on YT, when it comes to melody tho, it's like a desert. I know, one of the most hard practices on music is writing chords for melodies, still there are plenty books on this subject. Seems this is a had topic for YT.

Personally I think the overabundance of educational content focusing on harmony is not because it’s harder to write, but because it’s easier to teach. Chord progressions have patterns that are easier to identify/label and collapse into a set of guidelines, if that makes sense. What makes a strong melody is harder to pin down. Or maybe it’s just a cycle that feeds itself; people don’t know how to talk about melody because they’ve never heard people talk about melody. Or maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about, that’s possible too.
