Hi, I'm Aoife O'Leary.

I’m a film composer and the creator of Intro To Scoring.

I'm currently scoring my fourth film, and the 3 movies I’ve scored so far include Hulu's #1 hit Cult Killer (starring

Antonio Banderas), and the crime/action/comedy Guns Up (starring Kevin James and Christina Ricci).

However, my background is not in composing at all; it's in bands, songwriting, and performing. I didn’t attend music school, can’t read or write music, and had only been producing in a DAW for about a year when I started work on my first film!

Can you imagine how out of my depth and scared I felt as I started to score?!

I worked intensely worked to uplevel my skills in my DAW, I took all the courses, read all the books, studied all the masterclasses from the best composers, but it is only through actually working as a composer that I found out what I didn't know and what I needed to learn fast and on-the-fly.

I discovered things that nobody told me about scoring - and that would have opened up this world to me much sooner if I had known them!

All of this inspired me to create a course, Intro to Scoring, so that I can share everything I have learned with you to help you set yourself up to get your very first scoring job.
