Actually i put together 3 different styles. 2 Greek and a classical. The greek once are a style of byzantine music and Syrtos (a style of dance.)
Alright. I'm afraid the classical style dominates, and sort of assimilates the two Greek styles into it. This is a problem, because it leads the piece out of its originality and into a sort of repetitive circle. It's true, it does sound beginnerish, as Chris Shaver said, because it does not develop or contain any particularly varied harmonic or melodic idea.

With a piece like this, I would take the work you have, and see if you couldn't add 1) a second melody, and 2) a different instrumentation that would bring out the Greek origins of the music.
