Hi my name is Alex and I am now 15 years old. I play violin and have mainly taught myself the piano. I have been composing for two and a half years but despite it being a short period of time I have learnt a lot. I guess my learning was accelerated by my interest which meant I composed frequently and tried seeking answers to my composition questions through self-directed study. By composing excessively in my early years, it meant I had more experience than most early composers and I would go through thought processes that could only come from experience. At first I started composing contemporary classical music for a Youtube channel, first notating it by hand then transcribing it to garageband for better sound quality. I then started to write film music for a short film that one of my friends directed. Soon after, I was soon invited by the Nova Youth Orchestra to write music for their string orchestra. And most recently, I have composed music for a string quintet which I run at school.
