I would like to get an idea of this site's age group. The main goal is to actually see the ratio of how many "Young Composers" we actually have, compared to older members.

So please help me out by telling us your age. I would appreciate it if you would not only answer the poll, but also state your exact age in the discussion. I especially want the veteran Young Composers members to participate in this thread. Thank you!

Hmm...this is sensitive for me.

Oh well...I'm not sure I care about the possible repercussions anymore. Most people know I'm a lot older. What most don't know is that I'm almost as old as their parents.

I'm 43. I used to fudge my age by several years on the old site because early on there were people there - long gone - who made a stink about anyone older than 20 being on the site. Typical - they posted once or twice to raise a fuss about something and never came back.

There is a freedom in being totally open about this, and everything else.

Don't feel threatened because of the site's title. I acutally am trying to think of ways to encourage older people to join despite the title Young Composers, since older members can certainly help guide the younger members. I think I am one of the older members of the board as well, so let's not feel bad about it

22, which I suspect is older than most, but then I only completed my first composition a year ago.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.

So Lee, you now know the true meaning of life, the universe and everything, I assume.

I am 17. That seems to be the norm, although I try not to attack like the other composers my age. TEACH ME LEE TEACH ME!
