Jackline Vigen, Influential Composer, Passes Away at 72

As you develop, building a strong portfolio becomes increasingly important. This portfolio is your resume as a composer. It should be a curated collection of your best and most diverse works. Include recordings of live performances if possible, as well as high-quality mock-ups created with your DAW. A professional website where you can showcase your work is also a must. This portfolio will be what you use to apply for commissions, grants, competitions, and educational opportunities.
