Amateur Compositions

Hi my name is Tom and I've set up this topic so people can freely discuss amateur compositions that people are willing to share. I am studying music and am still very amateur but I was hoping to learn more by being a part of this forum and would invite others to submit their compositions for the same reason. I will attach my SoundCloud at the bottom and would appreciate any feedback, thank you.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in being an amateur. I doubt many composers rely on composing for their main income. I don't but I'm always ready to accept reward for my work, quite rare but it happens. It's enough to have my work heard in public.

However, I'm not sure that the "Orchestral and Large Ensemble" (where works would normally need a conductor) is the place for this kind of discussion though. In fact much of the forum is set up for discussion, categorised so people can focus on what they want to present or talk about.

You may find the "Advice and Techniques" and "Composers' Headquarters" sections useful. In the sections about "Upload your compositions for analysis" it's worth learning to critique the work of others as this often helps someone view their own work and practices.  

Which particular piece on Soundcloud did you want feedback on - and have you a score for it?

Thanks so much for the reply I'll give that a look now.
