Also, regarding your composition instruction, where and with whom are you studying?

Well, I live in Moldova. I guess most of you don't know where it's situated, it's between Romania and Ukraine. My composition teacher is from Russia. He only does modernist stuff, you've never heard of him, but if you want a name - Oleg Palymski. But modernism hasn't got anything to do with what I am writing. Still, modernism or not, it develops my composition skills.
I am now studying Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestration by myself, from the Garritan Personal Orchestra forums. They've also got lots of audio examples.
Also I had no idea this thread would reach 4 pages, thanks guys.
