ASA is the perfect blend of community and craft - make friends and hone your craft in equal measure.
The Academy of Scoring Arts has quietly become one of the most rewarding communities I’ve found in LA. Every session I’ve attended — from Tim Davies walking us through practical orchestration techniques and tricks, to Gordy Haab sharing stories behind Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, to Michael Paraskevas unpacking Agatha All Along — has been thoughtful, generous, and packed with insight you can’t get anywhere else. What I appreciate most is the relaxed, smart atmosphere they foster — it never feels overly formal, but you always leave feeling sharper, more inspired, and more connected to the scoring world
It’s incredible the kind of events ASA has been doing - inviting A-list composers to break down their cues and share their workflow, sometimes even giving us a glimpse of their DAW sessions. I have learnt and grown so much as a composer thanks to the ASA
