MITA's Mission
Our mission is to help composers break free from generic progressions and write music that truly stands out. Interval Theory is a groundbreaking and intuitive approach to composition.
Many of our members, who range from aspiring to professional composers, go on to compose original scores for films, TV, and video games.
And they love their competitive advantage!
What We Believe In
We believe that music brings people together, shapes our world, and says what words can’t.
At MITA, we value both, strong skills and personal style, giving you the tools that boost your creativity instead of holding it back.
We believe that with Interval Theory, you'll break free from old habits and discover a whole new side of yourself as a composer!
What our members say
"Listening to the compositions of other students immediately made me realize, that’s what I was missing—a new way of thinking about music.
It wasn’t about breaking the rules, but creating with a new set of rules, and it completely changed how I approached composition."
Rick Frost - Musician & Composer
"One of the most rewarding parts of MITA for me has been the orchestration course. The wealth of information it provides is incredible, and it’s helped me focus on the kind of orchestral writing I’ve always wanted to explore."
Shane Jensen - Music Director & Composer
Let's look at some Statistics
We've been tracking the numbers from the beginning (2015) until the current year, and here are some of the statistics we want to share with you:
"I wanted to understand why certain music feels so fluid."
"What drew me to MITA was a desire to understand why certain music feels so fluid—like in a cartoon or action scene where everything just flows seamlessly.
MITA gave me a new perspective, tying harmonic principles and patterns to a fresh, interval-based approach. It complemented my existing knowledge and gave me new creative capabilities."
Mike Caral - Composer
"MITA has been a transformative experience for me!"
"As a songwriter, I never needed much instrumental development, but now, using interval-based techniques, I’ve been able to compose entire musical pieces that stand on their own or enhance my songs as intros or bridges.
I’m so glad to be part of MITA—it’s been a transformative experience for me!"
Luz María Fry - Songwriter & Composer
The 3-Step Process
Turning your vision into reality requires more than inspiration—it takes action and understanding your creative process. Take a moment to reflect: Do you follow specific steps to achieve your results?
If not, don’t worry. By identifying patterns in your process, you gain clarity and control. For example:
A painter might start by choosing colors.
An author might collect real-life plots.
A composer might brainstorm a title before writing a note.
Recognizing these steps helps you understand how you work, what motivates you, and where you want to go. Embracing your unique path gives you the confidence to take control of your creativity.
Below, we share the 3-Step Process that has consistently worked in our careers as composers.
Gathering
First, we gather ideas and materials for our future creation. This can include melodies, chords, scales, rhythms, or sounds.
Instead of judging or analyzing them, we stay open and let inspiration flow. These materials become the foundation for our musical storytelling and help maintain consistency.
Sketching
Next, we put our ideas together like a puzzle. We try different combinations and play around.
The main idea is to focus on the big picture and don't worry about small details yet. A simple sketch with basic melodies, vertical structures, and nice moments becomes our guide for the story we want to tell.
Developing
Last, we focus on adding details and polishing our work. We improve the mood, energy, and overall feel via the arrangement and orchestration.
Edit and polish your work using both your creativity and skills. This step is about fine-tuning everything to bring your vision to life and create a strong, impactful final piece.
"One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned through MITA is how to find my unique voice in composition. So many programs focus on mimicking great composers, but MITA is different.
Through MITA, I’ve discovered chord structures and sounds I never would have found using traditional diatonic methods."
Sharon West - Engineer & Composer
"Each lesson gives you musical vocabulary and also shows you how to use it in a clear and structured way.
With MITA, I have full control over my compositions. And I realized that I'm able to write very quickly."
Dan Selsick - Musician & Composer

"With their three-step process—gathering, sketching, and orchestrating—I always have a clear starting point and a roadmap to follow. This systematic approach to creativity has been invaluable and well worth the membership.
In fact, I love the program so much I bought a lifetime membership."
John Isley - Musician & Composer
"MITA gave me the tools to move beyond traditional music theory."
"Joining MITA completely transformed my approach to composition. I learned to internalize the sound of intervals, like a painter understands colors, which helped me develop my own unique musical voice. MITA gave me the tools to move beyond traditional music theory and understand modern composers like Stravinsky and Ravel in a new way.
I also found a supportive community of composers who share the same passion for learning and growth.
If you want to take your music to the next level and create something truly personal, I can’t recommend MITA enough."
