Musical Composer

             The career that I chose was a musical composer. The reason I chose this career is because I have an obsession with music. From the time I was five years old I could partially conduct. I would watch Fantasia every single day. It drove my parents insane. When I went to fifth grade I learned to play the trumpet. My cousins" wife taught me to play the harp. My mother taught me how to play the flute. I am also the fastest learning piano student that my piano teacher has ever had. I can now learn songs just by listening to them sometimes. My skills have led people to believe that I could be a great composer. That is why I chose this career.
             A composer is a person who creates musical works. He will put the music together in notation onto paper or on a computer. My job does not have qualifications except great understanding of music, so I am going to do my best and at the "U of A" get a doctors degree of musical arts in composition. I believe that a composer should have a large quantity of patience. The reason being is because a composer must work long hours to create a piece. The composer's orchestra, if he has one, must work with them to create the pieces to full perfection. Also being clinical insane and deaf have been known to help to create masterpieces. That might hinder my work though.
             Being a composer has many perks; such as, if you work for yourself, working your own hours. Another possibility is that being a composer doesn't limit you to just woods and winds, you may work and produce pieces that end up as pop music, film soundtracks, and anything between! For example your music may wound up in a famous artists song. Also, becoming a famous composer may result in a millions made from one hit-single.
             If you work hard and do your best you could construct a new sound or style of music. This constructed sound could make the music of the world change indefinitely. The music will be all mine and no one else's.
