In conclusion to the course I just want to comment on how much I have learnt in the past few months. The cool thing about this course was that I learnt from work shopping my ideas; trying things out for my class mates to see what they thought, to hear there criticisms. My technique as a new composer has started to grow, knowing how to think like a composer, learning how to accurately put down my ideas. I have not just learnt how to develop ideas and know when not to play with ideas but I have also learnt how to write for other people. Up until now whenever I wrote something it was always for me, so I automatically understood what I had down. However when you get people to play for you, you start to see what makes sense to you, doesn't always cut it for everybody else. This course has opened up my eyes to all aspects of composing: compositional techniques, developing and playing with ideas, writing things that make sense for other players and preparation of my score.
I am looking forward to taking the advanced composition course next term, I get to keep working on ideas while learning to become a good composer.
