Where do you live?: Texas

About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.: I'm a percussionist for a small local symphony. I have a BA in music education and taught high school band and choir for fifteen years before moving into the health care field due to budget cuts in the music programs. I began writing seriously about five years ago and am looking for honest feedback on my works. Composing is a serious hobby for me. I spend between 20-30 hours a week at it. I'd love to study composition privately and see if I do have any sort of future in it.
