Researching Composers

The other day I was feeling curious about the backgrounds of a few prominent film composers and wanted to find out certain things about them such as: where they studied, who they studied under, how old they were when they made their first successful filmscore.

It was comforting to find out that the majority were not widely recognised until they were at least 30 years old, there is plenty of time for me yet! However, the tutors that composers like James Horner had (Jerry Goldsmith) were amazing so I need to start networking and wheedle my way into an apprenticeship with a prominent composer!

Also, when I manage to get the funds together I would like to attend one of the big American composition universities or even the national film institute in England (I think it is in Bedfordshire) that Birger attended.
