How long does it takes to learn music theory and what does it takes to become a composer?
>>65075542
10,000+ hours of practice
could be less depending on your learning ability and talent
good luck
>>65075542
you have to be born with natural talent

You said nothing about music theory did you?
What are you trying to compose? Learning music theory isn't hard, just a matter of memorization. The challenging aspect is applying it to an instrument.
Songwriting isn't easy. It all depends on your vision and goals.

don't bother. everything has already been done.

stop posting and get to work

I don't deny it but still that wont stop me to try.
>>65075874
I want to make something otherworldly.

Not even close.Just when I think I've heard everything I get surprised by something completely different.And being done doesn't mean that It was done right.

start memorizing and then apply it to whatever you have.
but actually perfecting composition/songwriting/whatever the fuck takes forever
just have fun with it

Theory take a few years but composition takes everything you have for the rest of your life.

Exactly 4 years and 5 months. Plus minus 2 weeks give or take.

Of course I know that its not easy and even extremely hard.I was just wondering what else than music theory can help me.
>>65078091
Reading and analyzing scores by applying theory to them, learning transposition, sight reading, transcribing orchestral scores to piano, learning relative pitch. And just composing, which includes writing a lot of bad music.
