Greetings maestrowick, thank you for your time first of all. I appreciate it. To be honest I'm not sure where to start from. As you might know I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to theory. I know some basics from music lessons I took years ago (piano), but a lot of important subjects were skipped, that I'm learning today. Some subjects of my interest that I like to start with are chord progressions, harmony, structures (the basics), composition in general, and also I don't write down my music, I installed Sibelius recently though, because I want to, some day I would like to play along with a string quartet or something, and I would like to be able to write down everything for them, so, I'm also interested in basic orchestration. I think it's better if you judge for yourself what guidance I require first, so here's an example of my current way to make music http://www.youngcomposers.com/?app=downloads&module=downloads&controller=view&id=1314

Tempo changes in the middle of bars are possible but make it absolutely clear where it falls. Something like a dotted barline helps.
