Composer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last several years shaping melodic and rhythmic ideas into clear, ready to perform notation for a range of briefs. At [Previous Company], I worked on projects that pushed me to translate complex concepts into concise scores and ensure the music could be reproduced accurately for both live players and software. In one memory, a 30 second TV cue required tight timing and clean notation, and the client came back saying the track fit perfectly in the edit. That kind of precise alignment is what I aim for with every project at [Company Name]. My strengths lie in melodic writing, harmonic structuring and rhythmic planning, with a practical eye for notation and preparation for reproduction. I also bring solid client liaison skills, so I can translate briefs into scores without missing the mark. I regularly conduct brief research for new compositions and keep my workflow aligned with industry standards and delivery timelines. I’m comfortable working across media music, from TV spots to radio jingles, and I know how to adapt to different creative voices. A recent project involved composing backing for a TV commercial where the brief evolved mid-branch, and I adjusted the harmonic plan and percussion layer to preserve tempo and mood. The final cue integrated smoothly with the edit, and the client noted it allowed for more flexible dialogue pacing. I kept the notation clean and ready for studio reproduction, which saved the team time during recording sessions and post in post. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I can start with a short briefing and show a couple of mockups within a week. Kind regards, [Your Name]
