I'm a composer & musician with over 30 years experience as a professional musician, and not so professional. I make music with flutes, saxophones, clarinets, piano, keyboards, computer. My Curriculum Vitae shows life's opportunites. Recently returned to Birmingham to teach in schools and focus on composition and projects.
Usually, these days, create music from jamming then refine a piece by developing ideas using structured composing or sometimes they stay jams. I learn music the same way, but in reverse order.... more on this topic later.

if the music's good... all else will follow
