I have recently found this podcast and absolutely love it! Sad to see that the last recording was almost 2 years ago, wish it would continue!!

These episodes are so engaging and thoughtful. The host asks great questions and the composers give detailed descriptions of the process for writing a film score, working with different directors, and all of the minutia of film music that I had no idea about. Please keep making these! Once I found this podcast I flew through all the episodes in a couple of weeks!

Man do I absolutely love this podcast!!

I am a composer and arranger (at least that’s how I identify myself–I teach at a University for a living). I LOVE this podcast. Hearing people discuss their craft, creating some of the best film music the business has heard, in Disney films. I feel Disney as an organization, has a lot at stake, from their history, to get the music right. Not settling for the usual tropes of film scoring. It’s so inspiring. Love hearing about the recording sessions, as I have my own stories, so I can relate to them a lot. I was so sad when season 2 ended, and wondered when it was ever going to continue (there was that COVID thing), so long I had lost track. Then I happened upon the podcast and saw there were new episodes. Yay! I binged all the latest, which did not disappoint, now awaiting those to come. Please don’t stop doing these.

I never studied music(beyond 3 years of piano and HS band)but I love hearing about creating music. First it gives me a better appreciation of the music scores and how they affect how we feel during a movie and second it fills me with awe as to the talent of everyone who pursues this craft.

My love for Disney movies have reached a new depth thanks to this podcast. The music adds so much to the films and this podcast adds an even deeper appreciation.

I just like 👍🏼 these podcasts about famous celebrities who wrote the music 🎶🎼🎵 from Disney Entertainment’s animated movies 🎥 and live-action movies 🎥. Annie Mautner

Jon Burlingame, host and film music professor at USC, does an incredible job asking thought-provoking questions that helps listeners peak into the minds of some of Hollywood’s greatest living composers. Interview topics are well-researched, and Professor Burlingame never interrupts the composers, allowing them to speak freely about their projects. Sound editing is expertly blended as well, with clips from pieces being discussed in the interview gently fading in and out for the listener. Simply put - this is the best musical podcast out there. Don’t miss it!

Listening to this podcast has added a new depth to my appreciation for Disney films and their music scores. This is a wonderful show that is both insightful and moving in its interviews. I highly recommend it and can’t wait for more episodes!

As a musician, composer, & huge Disney fan, this podcast is the one I’ve been waiting for. The questions & answers are insightful, and paint a picture into the process of how Disney film composers develop a score & what inspires them. I love the backstories as well. Since I’m a newcomer, to For Scores. I’m looking forward catching up on the past episodes!
