Happy Saturday!

Composer Sundays:

I apologize for skipping a week! Life events have been happening which I will explain later.

I gained my interest in composing seriously once I took over an orchestra program for a school. As I learned more about the orchestra world and their music at the Elementary/MS/HS levels, I realized that’s it not nearly as fun and as attractive as the band music that I grew up playing and loving.

I wanted to change that so I started writing for string orchestra mainly and pursued getting my music published as I went. As I went, I also began writing for band as well as I heard those sounds in my head.

The very first song that I got officially published is titled, “Temple Raider.” The thought came to me one random night at 11pm and I wrote it within 3 days.
