Ava Brackett
Long Beach, CA

Recent graduate from CSULB BCCM with a Bachelor's in Music Composition.

I started learning violin when I was 8 years old at the public elementary school I attended. I was passionate about playing the violin, and decided I wanted a career involving music. I went to Long Beach City College (LBCC), and studied music theory in college for 5 years, and it was one of my favorite subjects. Musicianship (ear training) and music theory were always fun and interesting, and I owe it to my amazing community college professors I had at LBCC. I transferred from LBCC with an Associate's Degree in Music to California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) in 2021, and was able to take advanced music theory courses, such as: Form and Analysis, Materials of Modern Music, and Counterpoint. Some other notable courses I have taken include: Orchestration, Media Scoring, Music Cultures, and Avant-Garde Music. This past May of 2023, I graduated from CSULB with a Bachelor's in Music Composition. One of my goals within the next ten years is to receive a PhD in Music Theory. I also enjoy creating compositions with theory and hope to continue writing both concert music and media music. I could not imagine both my compositions and my life without my music theory and musicianship training. For the past four years, I have been teaching violin and piano lessons to a variety of ages. I learned how to deal with students whose age or skill level vary. I found a pace that works well for them, motivates them, and shows them they can be successful and reach their goals. At the early stages of teaching music, there is significant theory teaching that provides the fundamentals for the rest of the student’s life.
