‘The most important thing is to feel you are writing the best music you possibly can. But it’s nice to be busy (but not too busy), to be valued by your peers, and to be appreciated by your audience too.’
Alex Thomen, composer
‘Listen to a lot of music in a variety of styles and genres. There is something to learn from any style of music – even the styles you’re not too keen on. You may surprise yourself by what you end up being inspired by.’
