Hello. My name is George Marshall and I am the founder of Any Old Music. I am a composer with over 10-years of experience, having completed work on 50+ projects for video-games, films and the concert hall. In 2020, I completed my doctorate in Music Composition. My PhD was on constraint and how it emerges in creative projects. For example, team discussions in video-game projects. If a video-game team presented a mood-board and certain briefs, these constrain and challenge the composer to compose in a particular way or style. Less quantifiable than, say, the application of serialism, but probably just as (if not more) constraining and creatively directing. It was during my PhD that I realised that there would only be two outcomes for me as a composer: I became a professional composer who needed to compose lots of music in not enough time. I became an amateur/hobbyist or semi-professional composer who needed to compose less music but still with not enough time. With this in mind I eventually opted for something more along the lines of semi-professional, but with an ambition of setting up Any Old Music as a means of helping similarly time strapped music makers. Particularly those in the second group, the hobbyists and semi-professionals, whose composing competes much more for time against other aspects of life. Composition is incredibly rewarding. You never stop learning and developing as a composer. Furthermore, many of us boast renegade autodidactic personalities to a certain extent. My hope is that Any Old Music’s self-paced composition courses can help composers to continue growing, by learning through creating and doing so in their own time.

Accessible Payment Options
Any Old Music strives to be both accessible while also not diminishing the value of Music Education. Therefore, we do our best to offer discounts and payment options. For Introduction to Orchestra I am pleased to offer three payment options along with, for this weekend at least, a pre-enrolment discount!
Get it done: One-Full Payment Option
A one time payment for the course. Get it out the way. With the discount this should be £150 rather than £300.
Spread the cost a little: Three-Payment Option
This is a three-payment option that will coincide with the course. You DO NOT have to have paid the full balance off by the time the course starts. With the super-pre-enrolment-discount this should equate to £50 every month for 3-months.
Spread the cost a lot: Five-Payment Option
This is a five-payment option With the super-pre-enrolment-discount this should equate to only £30(!!!) every month for 3-months.
Super-Pre-Enrolment-Discount
The full price of Introduction to Orchestration is £300 (c.$372USD). However, the links should offer you a £150 / 50% pre-enrolment discount, making the price £150 (approximately $186).
If you do not see the discount, please let me know via george@anyoldmusic.com and I will send over a fresh link for which ever payment option you would like (One, Three or Five instalments).
Thank you for this week everybody.
I appreciate I have been banging this course down your throat.
Hopefully you are interested and will pre-enrol.

George
P.S. I don't know if I will be running another pre-enrolment or enrolment. Or, whether I will be discounting the course so much in the future. Please take advantage of it now, if you can:
