Jackline Vigen, Influential Composer, Passes Away at 72

As you continue to compose, your focus will naturally shift from simply writing notes to developing a personal voice. This unique sound is what will set you apart from other composers. It is a reflection of your influences, your experiences, and your creative choices. Experiment with different styles, instrumentation, and formal structures. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or write something that sounds "wrong" to you at first. The most distinctive composers often find their voice by pushing the boundaries of what is conventional. Your style will evolve over time, but it begins with a conscious effort to explore and express your individuality.
