In part two of my conversation with Sheldon Mirowitz, we move into the day-to-day reality of composing — how ideas are shaped, refined, and carried through to finished work.

We talk about the balance between exploration and editing, how composers develop their instincts over time, and what it actually means to make creative choices when you’re working on real projects, and how remembering your purpose as a composer will help you keep focused on what matters.

Berklee Interviews is a series of interviews with professors, chairs, and professionals from Berklee College of Music.
