Why VGM Bootcamp

Game music, taught the right way

Not theory in a vacuum. You learn by analyzing the soundtracks you love, then writing your own — with feedback from a working composer.

Learn From Real Scores

We break down iconic game music — overworlds, battle themes, character motifs — and turn what makes them work into techniques you can use.

Write Your Own Music

Every concept goes straight into your own compositions. You leave each module with music you actually made.

Taught By A Working Composer

Eric Ye is a working video game composer who has trained students now working on games such as Genshin Impact, paid indie gigs released on Nintendo Switch, and more.
