    Music is for everyone and listened to by many. We listen to music for many reasons, but the most common reasons are trying to get away from negative problems that are happening in negative parts of the world, controlling our own moods and emotions, relieving the stress that we feel from doing something for such a long time, and many more. However, there are different groups with their own preference of music that they want to listen to because there are different types of music. Which is why, there are different composers that play different kinds of music.

    A composer is someone who creates music with the use of any instrument to their liking, hoping to create a melody and a good rhythm that they can make a tune out of and be heard by many. Basically, they are known as the authors of music, in those terms. Now, there are many different composers, but I have chosen one Filipino Contemporary Composer. They are known for the musical style of symphonic music, band, vocal, choral, music-theater, chamber, and movie music. He goes by the name Lucio San Pedro.

    Lucio San Pedro is not only a Filipino Composer, but he is also a teacher. He came from a family where the family line are known for their musical roots and San Pedro began his time with music at an early age.

    Shown below is a presentation of Lucio San Pedro, of what his life was in a nutshell, through this graphic organizer:

    With someone like Lucio San Pedro, there are those who are aspiring to become composers themselves and make their own music that would make everyone feel in peace and relieved, even if they are in a good or a bad mood. With their own kind of music, the listeners would be able to enjoy it for entertainment and relief, just like what Lucio San Pedro did with his compositions that would touch the hearts and souls of Filipinos that listen to his music.
