This is part 2a in the lecture I gave at the KMTA conference in June. In this segment, I talk about the questions I asked great composers about what they learned or didn’t learn as students that helped them or would have helped them in their composition careers. Their answers provided part of the outline for this lecture, so portions of their responses will be shared throughout the coming videos.
