 Rock-solid advice from someone whose been there Jun 26, 2006
By jd
An excellent book that takes it's title quite literally - From Score to Screen. This book DOES NOT teach you how to write a score, rather it assumes that you have a computer-sequenced score written and are now converting that midi mockup into a full orchestral recording in a professional recording studio with a large orchestra and several helper professionals to assist you. As such, this book does a wonderful job in covering, very specifically, the nuts and bolts of part extraction, conducting ,and just what all those helper professionals at the session (copyist, orchestrator, mixer) do. Although, obviously, I have never gone through this process, this certainly seems like rock-solid advice from someone whose been there (repeatedly).

Informative, practical, and thoughtful. Apr 27, 2005
By Michael Worth
Having just started in the business of writing music for film and television, I needed a new book to walk me through the practical aspects of film scoring. This book accomplishes that, and more. It goes through the step by step process by which a contemporary film composer can get work, interact with a director, creatively write a score, edit and tweak it, and record it in a studio environment. It's well written, very communicative, and has already helped me figure out where to go to drum up business, and how to write music for film quickly and confidently. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to write music for film and T.V.

Extremely useful real world advice. Oct 28, 2004
By Erik A. Desiderio
This is a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in the art of film scoring. "From Score to Screen" contains an abundance of great advice for beginning film scorers as well as composers who are more established. Topics include: score preparation and how to make the live orchestra session run smoothly, as well as advice and tips on converting a midi mockup to a full orchestra recording. Great insight from an expert.

 Informative, but quite repetitive Jan 22, 2010
By Steve Sensenig
"pianosteve"
I learned a couple of things from this book that I didn't already know from reading other books about the film scoring industry. However, I can't agree with the endorsements chosen by the publisher that imply this book breaks new ground, etc.
It was very basic, very simple reading, and I got frustrated at how often the author repeated himself. Sometimes, it felt like the same content was actually copied and pasted from one section to another.
If this is one of the first books you read on the subject, it might prove to be quite helpful to you. But it's by no means a major work. Some of the anecdotes included are humorous, and I enjoyed the "insider" feel when reading it. But overall, I came away wishing I had gotten a lot more depth and not so much repetitive fluff.

EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE & A CONFIDENCE BUILDER Mar 31, 2006
By Dean N. Krommydas
This book offers a great start to anyone who has questions about film scoring - whether you're just curious or taking things quite seriously this book provides some very good insight. I currently don;t have the luxury of taking classes for Film Scoring and it is clear that Sonny Kompanek is a great teacher. Realistic, straightforward yet positive & hopeful - he provides some words of encouragement to those aspiring to break into this field as well as "cold hard facts."
Great Book!
