He came up with his fitting nom-de-plume back in the third grade after completing a school project on birds. 'I learned that a blue jay is a rather small bird which makes a lot of noise,' he explains. 'I felt that that characterized me quite well!' " "BlueJay started composing orchestral music when he was ten, and in the short span of the last year and a half, he has already composed nine pieces for orchestra, including four complete symphonies! BlueJay says he learned about orchestration mostly from reading books about it. 'I wanted to learn about the ranges of the different instruments before actually writing orchestral pieces,' he says." "When BlueJay sets out to compose, he says that the bulk of the work is done in his head before he ever even writes anything down. 'I'll think of a tune at the end of a piece, and then I'll think of everything before it,' he explains. When BlueJay is ready to write out the piece, he uses a composition computer program." 11-04 Hammerstein, Oscar (Rogers and Hammerstein Organization) Provides a biography and information on major works. 11-01 Porter, Cole (PBS.org) Provides a short biography. 11-01 Rogers, Richard (Rogers and Hammerstein Organization) Provides a biography and information on major works. 11-01 Twelve-Tone Technique (Wikipedia.org) "Twelve-tone technique (also dodecaphony and, especially in British usage, twelve-note composition) is a method of musical composition devised by Arnold Schoenberg. The technique is a means of ensuring that all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are sounded as often as one another in a piece of music. All 12 notes are thus given more or less equal importance, and the music avoids being in a key. The technique was tremendously influential on composers in the mid-20th century." 10-07 Webber, Andrew Lloyd (Larsdotter) Provides a short profile on the composer of musicals. 2-02 Projects Songwriting Competition (SongwritingCompetition.com) Describes the international songwriting contest.
