Join Zach Heyde's Composing Career Bootcamp: a 6-module, 10+ hour course covering how to create your portfolio, expand your network, build an online audience, and get paid to make music—without having to move to Los Angeles or quit your day job.
Yes, it's 100% possible—but not through job websites or cold emails.
If you're like I was, you've spent a while honing your music skills. Maybe you've even prepared a website and a music portfolio. And you genuinely feel like your music is good enough to start getting paid for.
But where do you find people who will pay for it?
I was asking myself the same thing after graduating composition college.
My fancy music degree didn't seem to mean much in the real world, and what was worse, I hadn't even been taught how to find work in the first place.
I spent years trying, but mostly just got paid to play piano in churches and teaching young kids music lessons... but it wasn't what I wanted.
So in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I tried something radical.
I stopped chasing work and started attracting it.
That's when everything changed for me—and that's exactly what I teach step-by-step inside the Composing Career Bootcamp.
The program is divided into six modules which you can find below, covering everything from:
Whether you're just stepping into the business of composing or have been at it for a while, this course is guaranteed to level up your skills.
How do I know?
Because 100+ composers have enrolled in the Bootcamp and found work and relationships in a matter of weeks—not years.
This stuff works.
In fact, I still use the skills I teach in the Bootcamp to this day.
It's what's enabled me to write music for clients like Disney and Dreamworks, build my YouTube audience to 100k+ subscribers, and live out my cozy art life with my wife in Colorado.
So, if you're serious about finding paid work as a composer and stepping into the industry, don't guess your way through it like I did.
Don't waste hours on job websites.
Don't say yes to work that undervalues you.
And don't blast out cold emails to film and game studios hoping they hire you.
Learn what actually works, and start getting paid to do what you love.
Hope to see you inside. 🎶

Take a look at the complete course curriculum, totaling over 10 hours of material.
From lead trackers and invoice templates to pitch scripts and email workflows—everything I've used to grow a six-figure composing business is included.
Includes:
This course is for composers who want to stop hiding and start connecting—with clients, collaborators, and themselves. If you're not ready to share your work or build relationships in the creative industry, this probably isn’t the right season for you. And that’s okay.
Nope, fully self-paced. You’ll get access to six structured modules, each with optional, self-guided assignments. No grades. No deadlines.
Probably more than you think. Most composers wait until they feel “ready”—but that moment rarely arrives. This course is designed to help you grow your business while you grow your craft, so you don’t have to keep waiting for permission.
You get lifetime access to all course materials and the full Notion toolkit. No expiration, so no rush to finish.
You can drop a comment on any lesson—I check once a week.
The full course is $997 USD. If that feels like a big investment, consider the cost of a college tuition (which often doesn't teach you the business skills)!
Yep! You can enroll for $197/mo for 6 months if that's more suitable for you.
If you're not happy with the program after enrolling, just send me an email at zachheyde@gmail.com within 14 days of purchase and I'll get a refund processed your way—no questions asked.
Still have questions? Reach out below and I'd be happy to help you figure out if the Bootcamp's a fit.
