Composer of the Future Keeping his Fingers Crossed By Anna Macfadyen, Ellie Pearce and Ellen Boyd S6 pupil Tyler WeltonStewart, an extremely talented self taught musician, has recently been interviewed for a place at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. The Conservatoire is a University for the Performing Arts and Tyler is hoping for a place to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Composition. Amazingly, he only started playing the piano in S1 and had no previous interest in music. “It was only when I got to the Academy and first had access to the piano that I realised that it was what I wanted to do.” He has never been taught or sat any exams but just gradually started playing more pieces and then writing his own. The four year course will set him up perfectly for a future career in composition. He feels that the Conservatoire is the perfect place for him: “Everyone thinks I’m crazy for applying for only one university but it’s the only one I feel will push me in the right direction. The teaching is very relaxed and the students are not forced into writing anything that is not ‘them’. It is all about: “Building you as a musician, a composer and a person”.
