I was more than happy to find this youtube video-channel.I needed to thanks on your time for this wonderful learn!! I positively having fun with each little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you youtube post.
I’m a senior in high school (I’m currently 18) and I’ve been playing the piano since I was ten, and the violin since I was 13. A year ago I started playing the guitar, too. In my country (Italy) there’s this “special” kind of high school you can attend: they call it “musical high school”. You have to audition to get in. I auditioned when I was 13 and I got in. It’s just a regular high school, really, but you learn about music theory, harmony, music production and history of music. And, most important thing, you study two instruments that you can choose (well, kinda... ): the first one is the one you auditioned with (it’s the piano for me) and the second one is assigned (violin for me). I’m about to dive into my last high school year and I know that this is what I want to do: film composition. I know about harmony, and music theory, and I play three instruments, and yet sometimes even I get the feeling that I’ll never make it. My question is: how do I make it? What do I study at university? I know that there is a master in “Composition for screen” but I need an undergraduate degree before doing that, and I have no idea what to get it in. I also want to attend university in a country that will give me more opportunities, job-wise. People think that if you want to peruse a music career, Italy is the best country but, trust me, when it comes to composition, it really isn’t. Ennio Morricone is the exception. Nobody makes it here. I’m so lost. I know what I want to do, but I have no idea where to start. If someone has any ideas or any piece of advice, I’m begging you to share. Thanks for reading.
@@Laitanie i applied to the university of amsterdam for a bachelors in communication science and ended up getting in. it’s not related to music at all but it felt right, so i’m moving there in two months. pursuing music is still on my bucket list but i want to get a degree first. i also had no idea where to go. i meant to apply to berklee as i had a few friends that attended already but the tuition was through the roof expensive and i never would have gotten a full ride.
I never thought the reality of never making the right connections as an excuse! But to know it came be overcome is of great insight! I like the part about an imagination!
Hearing his insights now, having grown up with the Flight of the navigator score, and still feel the same, with the musical grouth that comes over the years, trying to find any simplicity on the composition as one finds in other childhood music, and not finding any flaw. I keep comming back to his early years, that infancy of synths sounds that many today wish could squeeze out of the computer.
