Masterclass II: Strategies for Composition

A two-and-a-half-hour presentation by Kurt of his compositional philosophies, techniques, and specific lessons drawn from a wide sampling of his compositions, including a 40-page handwritten booklet written by the composer and charts of many of his songs having been discussed in detail.

Video masterclass focused on Kurt’s compositional methods, deep diving into a wide sampling of his compositions, exploring the unique elements, subjects, and lessons of each song – the interactive presentation explores the different ways they were composed while giving tips on how to cultivate your own inspiration, creativity, and open your mind to explore other compositional methods on your own.

Kurt speaks about how songs got their names, where they were composed, and the meaning behind them.

After the purchase, you will receive a PDF file with hyperlinks to download the video in MP4 format and charts for the compositions that are discussed in the masterclass, a scanned book of Kurt’s original handwritten texts, and a list of recommended listenings (all in a ZIP folder with PDF files).
