Lectures, Clinics, Workshops, Master Classes
Mitch delivers focused, results-oriented lectures, clinics, workshops and master classes. All have the same goal: helping students achieve success in the field of music for media
“We had a wonderful time with Mitch Coodley at our last two Fridays@1 on the topic of Library and Production Music. After his first presentation, he gave the students an assignment to write 3 different genres of promo music. Mitch came back the following week, and critiqued our students’ work. It was a very informative and insightful experience for all that attended.”

LECTURE AND CLINIC TOPICS INCLUDE
• MUSIC FOR TELEVISION: How it’s used, what the conventions are, what directors and producers expect, and the techniques available for different situations.
• PRODUCTION MUSIC: A growing career opportunity and fascinating area of post-production. Includes the basics of music licensing, working with music libraries, and finding the style and genre that suits your skills.
WORKSHOPS AND MASTER CLASSES
• Coodley works with a group of selected students on their projects and demos, giving immediate feedback and specific instruction on how to improve, focus, and package their music for the music industry. While being academically rigorous, Coodley's approach zeroes in on what sells and what makes it great.
• Coodley finds the nuggets of gold within a student's work and helps him or her build those elements into a compelling package - how to grab an audience and tell a story with their music.
