October 22, 200520 yr 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!
October 22, 200520 yr 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.
October 22, 200520 yr Author 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 :)
October 22, 200520 yr 22, which I suspect is older than most, but then I only completed my first composition a year ago.
October 22, 200520 yr So Lee, you now know the true meaning of life, the universe and everything, I assume.
October 22, 200520 yr he's a year to old to that :) but that was probably one of the brightest comments I've heard :)
October 22, 200520 yr 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!
October 22, 200520 yr So Lee, you now know the true meaning of life, the universe and everything, I assume. * laughs * Yeah, tell us already!I'm eighteen.
October 23, 200520 yr So Lee, you now know the true meaning of life, the universe and everything, I assume. * blush * I wish I did. It would make life so much easier. Rather, the older I get, the more sure I am that I will never understand any of that.
October 25, 200520 yr I'm 12, 13 on February... :D Actually, I haven't begun composing yet :) but I've analysed a LOT of scores and I'm looking for another newbie to "join" me :) Well, looks like I'm the youngest.
October 26, 200520 yr Yaaaay I'm the only one my age! Wooo! I turned 19 almost 2 months ago. I was hesitant to click on 'teenager' on the poll, since I'm nearly 20.
October 26, 200520 yr Yay, another British Columbian! Vancouver is lovely. Now that I'm at college in the States, I really miss it. Ah well; I asked for it. * laughs *
