<p>I am a mainly self taught composer in high school, i am taking ap music theory this comming year, and was at an amazing composition/music tech workshop at UNCSA where i learned a lot.</p>
<p>my style:
very rhythmic
im paternistic like john adams/ philip glass
i prefer atonal works
i enjoy using 20th century techniques
i like fusing different period techniques, like romantic and modern
im self taught mainly
i focus on quality instead of quantity
i use form for a basis but follow it loosely
i love percussion though i’m not strong in notating it</p>
<p>My strength is orchestration and melody
My weekness is harmony though i enjoy the subject</p>
<p>I hope this info is enough for anyone who knows a good college that would fit me. Oh and i want to double major in music comp and music education and UNCSA cant do that which is why im still searching :)</p>
<p>Lots of advice on composition in the [Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your musical aesthetic - that will be helpful in steering you towards or away from programs. Please tell us more about yourself and what you’re looking for in a school. Also, why music ed in particular? That will definitely narrow your choices to double major in the two and probably make it a five year program. You could just get a degree in composition, then get a teaching credential after as a masters.</p>
<p>What part of the country are you in? Are finances an issue? What kind of academic experience are you looking for - in addition to music. What kind of student are you?</p>
<p>Also - please try to find a private teacher for this next year. Do you have any live recordings? If not, that is something to get done in the next couple of months, one way or the other (many of the composition threads have suggestions on how to do that.)</p>
<p>The more information you can share with us, the more helpful we can be. Best of luck in your musical life!</p>
