Questions
How much is a film scoring session?
$250 for a two-hour, one-on-one session with Isaac. You pay when you book.
What should I bring?
A scene or a cue you're working on, your laptop and DAW session if you have one, and headphones. If you're starting from scratch, just bring the goal.
Do I need to read music?
It helps, but it isn't required. The session meets you where you are.
How do I pick a time?
Choose any open two-hour slot on the booking calendar. It's the live studio calendar, so the times you see are times the studio is free and Isaac is teaching.
