How to Be a Composer is a British television documentary in two episodes, first shown on BBC Four in July 2009.[1][2]

Background

Produced and directed by Paul Yule, the show was based around the former New Musical Express journalist Paul Morley learning how to create a piece of classical music.[1][2]

The films observe Morley spending a year at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London.[1] Morley begins without knowing musical notation or music theory.[3] By the end of the year, with the help of his tutor Christopher Austin and the students at the academy, we see the performance of his string quartet.[1][3]
