What is your age please?

You're still younger than I was when I finished my first piece...

I am 18 and a half (borned 25.05-1987)

d

18 here... I've been composing since 16.

holy crap, now I feel fricking old! That's not a great feeling. I'm 22. It didn't even OCCUR to me to try composing until I turned 18 or 19, tried it once for a music theory class (with a pencil on staff paper I found in the basement), and then sort of didn't try it again until I got Sibelius 1 as a gift when I was about 20. Still haven't really totally gotten the hang of everything yet, but I'm working on it.

I'm 13 Yay, I'm one of the youngest!

Sounds exactly like my story. I'm 22, started composing when I was 19 (I'd written down a few doodles as early as 15 or so, and didn't try again until the summer after my sophomore year in college), though not for any kind of class. I'm still working on my third and fourth pieces, 3 1/2 years later, and I still have yet to take a music class in my life other than music history.

What's your day job (or major if you're still in college)?

I'll be 17 in about a week.

I started composing midi and game music when I was...about 11 so that's like 6 years experience before high college I suppose.I just turned 17 like a month ago.

Iam 22. I only got into to music because of my desire to compose... I bought a cheap guitar when I was 10 and my parents wanted me to go to a school but I refused because I thought that if someone thaught me I wouldn't be able to "be me"....oh well, kids

At the age of 13 I finally got my hands on some stuff about music theory and after some months I began to apply it to the guitar and taught myself how to play it... Since then I've been always playing, composing, producing and doing stuff related to music. Its been a fun journey but the best of all is that you know that it will never end until you die so there's still a lot to learn and most of all, learn about you and what you are

14 all the way!
