<p>Post #53 put it all perfectly. Musictechdad articulated what we have been trying to say all this time. The idea that your YouTube productions could be an entry point for classical composition, or film, or any direction you want to go, and that that work in a way, can supplant more conventional compositional training for admissions if the admissions people can see the potential that way.</p>
<p>And this: " In that case, any program with a solid, foundational composition program will be a good fit. You will need to develop notational skills, music theory, explore 20th and 21st century music, find your own voice, and learn how to write for and communicate with human musicians. That can be done at a number of places and I think your current list gives you some excellent options. "</p>
<p>If you are truly inspired to follow the path of writing music, you really can go to many different programs and end up at grad programs that will satisfy your desire for top quality and reputation.</p>
