Although we praise the overall song, the actual credit goes to the Music Composer, who is in charge of the overall tune, music, lyrics, notes, and every piece of the song. Working mainly in multimedia companies, these artists undertake responsibility for the following things mentioned on the Music Composer Resume – expressing creativity through notes and melodies; preparing pieces that are performed live by the soloists; developing notes into songs, working alongside bands and orchestras; and scheduling meetings with the Directors and producers to discuss project requirements. Some Composers independently compose record and perform music scores for events and shows.
Specific education is not mandatory for this role, as many find jobs by simply recording their compositions with instruments and submitting them to the production companies, singers, and agents. However, many production units and classical bands want a bachelor’s degree in music composition or music theory. The profession hence requires musical talent, the discipline to hone skills, people skills, and the ability to interact with singers, and musicians.
