Welcome back Lee!! :thumbsup:

Maybe he can be our saviour :O

He is the chosen one! *gasp*

*look at his hand, it is the sign that Link has in the Zelda games, and he also carries 100 rupies*

...ok this might have gone to far :pinch:

Welcome back Lee. I've missed your music more than I miss being in love. Okay that made no sense, but still, you're the only classicalish composer I have ever enjoyed.

DOFTS = Bitter Duck.

Welcome back Lee! :D

Hi, my name is Bryce and I've been composing since I was about 14. I play the trumpet in my high school band, and I also play guitar and a little piano. A lot of my influence comes from modern wind ensemble composers, specifically Steven Reineke and David Holsinger. So far, I've written: "The Little Boy Lost in the Snow," a choral piece that was performed in my high school's play in 2005; "Kinetia," an orchestral piece; a single movement of a string quartet; and my latest work, "Excelsior," for wind ensemble. "Excelsior" will be performed on May 4, 2008 by my high school band in the spring concert.:D Hopefully I can soon post scores and mp3's of these works!

Welcome Shostakovsky!

looking forward to hearing some live performances:)

Shostakovsky, welcome! This board is severely lacking in choral/vocal works, so please, upload some if you got 'em!

Hello!

I am Alexander, 21 years old. I am from Greece and I am interested in music composition. I play the piano and the recorder and currently I am preparing for the entrance examinations at the Hochschule fur Music und Theater of Leipzig. I hope I'll pass the examinations as I really want to study music composition! I am mostly self-taught in composition even though I hold a diploma in Harmony and Counterpoint. Recently however, I started taking lessons especially for composition and I find I have improved quite a lot. Well despite my lack of free time, I look forward to meeting you and hearing your works. I think I'll start by sharing with you a work of mine!

Thanks for reading!

Hey I'm Cecilia. My main instrument is the tenor sax, but I also play piano and violin.

I compose mainly for piano and vocals, though I'm trying to work on expanding to write for different instrumentations.

I'm hoping to learn a bit more about the logic behind composition, because right now I'm depending purely on creativity, and I hear that there are some other (really) important aspects of writing music.

I look forward to exploring this site.

Hi everyone!My names Amber and I wanna say I look up2 u all. :w00t: Having such opportunities!I am not as good as anybody on this site-yet! ;)Im in the beginning stages tho I wrote my first song at 6 and havent stopped yet. u are all amazing and I gaurantee Ill be composing like u in no time If I work as hard as u all.

haha i like your name...welcome to YC! :)

hmm..about your name...well i would if i could :whistling:

Hey nick maybe you can help me out. My name is Loreal and I'm 14. I'm in 8th grade at the moument and want to be a composer when in the future. My goal is to transpose regular songs you hear from day to day and write them so that bands can play them.Also in doing this I hope to change people's mind about what they may think about once they hear the words "School Band." What I want is to when people hear those words I want people to think of yeah a school band but a school band that they are interested in listening to. For example most people think of boring old symphonic music ir just music noone really cares to hear; I want to change that by opening people's eyes. I have been in band since 6th grade playing the clairinet. Just last year I picked up the BASS clairinet as well. The thing is I don't know exactly how to go about becoming a composer and really have noone to help me out. Basically I have to find out and do research on my own. If you can fill me in it would be great. I mean I know you have to get education for it. As a matter a fact I have already applied for Osceola County School For The Arts; Maybe you've heard of that school? well they have a very good music program and actually have a specific class for composing. As for college....that's what I'm not sure about. Even so it's AFTER collge is my question. I know you have to get a job in the mean time of composing. Like how do you go about getting your work published? how do you get it well known? things like that I want to know so maybe you can help me. For anyone else that sees this and can also help me please reply to this.

Thanx. :)

thanx. Well do you know anyone that can though?

Hey, my name is Arne and I'm 22, I had some musical training when I was little (piano). I quit that to persue a professional soccer career (:p), in short, I suffered an injury and had to retire from the game. So I picked up the guitar to play rediculously heavy metal. Around the same time I started messing around with synths and got into orchestrating. These days I study jazzguitar in a place approprietly named Jazz Studio and my spare time goes out to making epic movie/computergame music :p.

oh and I'm capable of reading notes on a comical level ^^

My name is Tram and I come from Vietnam :D just surfing through the net and found you all here. That's totally a delightfulness to me. I'm 15, and so, still high school student, but I love composing. Though my works can be unprofessional, or so-so :P, hope you all can enjoy them, and help me to improve my music. Thank you all a lots.

P.S: call me CR, that's my "stage name" :P

good evenin'! I'm sort-of new here, that is, i've been a member for a while and looked around the forums, but never really posted anything :) so heya, i'm stu, i play keyboards, guitar, drums and trumpet :) i've been composing for a long time, dunno how long to be honest, wouldn't really say i have a particular style but i love orchestral and minimalist music, and i adore dischord and counterpoint if they are used well :) i'm 15 by the way, and i like making new friends regardless of anything, so just talk to me i dont bite...hard :-D

welcome new people :)

just so you know, i am the leader of YC, and yes, you may call me master

now BOW!
