How I Became a Classical Concert Composer

[@saadhaddadmusic]

My journey as a composer started out when I was just seven years old. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from the best musicians in our field from high school all the way through graduate school. I’m hoping to give back what I can through this channel. Thanks for watching.

No way! I had a few lessons with Bruce Broughton when I was at UNT!

[@saadhaddadmusic]

He’s a big influence for me- I also have an interview up on my podcast of him and his wife from a few months back!

Nice video. Curious why did you choose a school with non-music related activities? Which activities were you interested in?

[@saadhaddadmusic]

I wanted to be more well rounded and closer to home. I joined the marching band for a semester and also took part in a fraternity for a few years - it was overall a better experience for me personally
