Question of the week: what percent of your composition ideas do you see through to completion? Chime in on the forum.

Thanks to lynda.com for the sponsorship of this season, and thanks to all my generous patrons! I’ve just released a free album with all the jingles I’ve written for my patrons.

If you’d like me to write you a jingle in the next season of Composer Quest, there are still 10 spots left. Visit patreon.com/charlie and pledge $3 or more per episode. Thanks for considering it.

Looking forward to starting up Season 5 in October!
