Composing Career - Musical Future - 28-10-2013
Hi,
My name is Thomas, Iâm from Spain and Iâm 15 years old. Iâm in the 4th course of medium degree in a music school of piano in my country, and Iâm looking for some recommendations by someone experienced about my possibilities in the future.
I live in Tenerife, Canary Islands, and Iâm in the main music school there, I donât find it to be bad, but (and thatâs why Iâm thinking and writing about this), I find the teaching methods there to be quite old-fashioned, and Iâm looking for something more focused in modern music.
I have decided that I want to study and work with something related to music, especially with composing. I have searched a bit, and what I find quite appealing are OSTs, for films and videogames (indie ones).
Iâm going to finish the high school studies here (I donât know whether to choose sciences or arts), so the recommendations Iâm looking for should be related to the university degree. I donât care if itâs in my country or abroad. Iâd like to do something a bit mixed (not just music composing and thatâs it), cause I consider that I like doing lots of things, and Iâm not bad in many things, so⦠Especially, Iâm thinking about something related to composing and animation or something like that (for videogames).
What are the options that I have? Should I do two careers (not too tough ones), each of those related to both things? Should I aim for a career related to both things? What universities and careers should I look for? How can I start getting prepared?
Any help would be really appreciated,
Thomas
