As a provider of educational opportunities for students, The Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program does not offer services for professional productions, filmmakers or composers. Student musicians who perform on the scores do so for the educational experience of working in a recording studio environment.

A Word from Our Lead Instructor

Thank you for your interest in the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program.

Tim Huling, Lead InstructorI am thrilled and honored to be taking over lead instruction here at the Pacific NW Film Scoring Program as of Fall, 2009.

I believe strongly that the core curriculum we've developed over the last 11 years is a great one, and as the new lead instructor I will continue teaching this curriculum. Going forward, we will also be expanding other elements of the program, such as music and audio for games, songwriting, and more.

The art and craft of film music demands a combination of skills and sensitivities that make it both very challenging and deeply rewarding. From the dramatic to the compositional to the technical, our students gain these skills, preparing them for a career in music for film, television, video games and other media.

A Word from Our Founder

Thank you for your interest in the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program.

Hummie Mann, Program FounderSince 1997, we have been training composers—and providing learning opportunities for musicians—in the art of film scoring. Our graduates have gone on to score a variety of both short and feature-length films, documentaries, interactive games, commercials, television programs and other productions that require original music composition.

With our regular one year "core classes"—portions of which which are-also offered in condensed intensive two-week summer programs—and various related supplemental courses, we are pleased to offer professional training to students and composers interested in pursuing a career in this challenging but rewarding discipline.
