Basic Orchestration and Basic Counterpoint

[bobgrahammusic]

Hi there, I am a young composer and currently, I cannot afford all the orchestration books that are recommended to me.... I would like to keep reading in the meantime however and learn as much as I can until payday! Anyways, Does anyone know of any simple orchestration tutorials online? I am looking for simple guidelines to orchestration and counterpoint.... Also, I loved Christian Kardeis demo and lessons, is there anything that even resembles this anywhere online? Thanks so much! Bob
