If you didn't know I'm a student at Judson University studying Worship Arts with a minor in Music Composition. I've always had an interesting in creating music outside a contemporary field. This is where this next part comes in.
Ever since the Spring of 2016 I've been slowly beginning to write a musical. That's right, my own musical. Going through the summer and simply coming up with concepts was a big part of my creative process. Ever since starting school at JU and being around creative people all the time, I was encouraged to start picking up the pace.
Today, about a year later, I'm so glad to say that the beginning stage is finally done. (ugh). I've created a lot of the music and have the idea of the full vision of what I would like it to be. It hasn't been easy. To be original is a very difficult thing but I understand that to create art is to also be inspired by other art. Today, I'm in the process of implementing. Making demos, drafting the book, fine tuning, finding a name. That kind of stuff.
I look to the future and get excited. Private composition lessons, more music theory knowledge, and a whole lot more of everything else. It's exciting but also very scary to look toward the future. This is something I need to finish. For myself, for my family, for all of you that have already begun to support me with this. I want to create something important. Something more than just a musical. I want to create something that can give hope, encouragement, and love. I can't wait to share this with you. Please, ask me about it, I would love to share some of it with you.
