Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is one of the classical music composers at work today in the United States. Her music is often described as complex but accessible, appealing to wider audiences. In 1983 she became the first female composer to win a Pulitzer Prize. She won it for her " Symphony Number One". (32) She says this is a special time to be a composer. Thanks to technology,more music is available to more people than at any time in history.
Ellen Zwilich began her musical exploration playing the piano, violin and trumpet. She started writing music as a child. She studied music at Florida State University and (33) later moved to New York City to study violin and composition.
One of Ellen Zwilich’s teachers has been a big part of American classical music for over seventy years: Elliott Carter. He began his musical studies at Harvard University in the 1930s and went on to study in Paris. His early works were influenced by composers of the classical period of the late 1700s and early 1800s. (34) But he later broke away from this neoclassical sound to create a freer and more expressive modernist sound. Elliott Carter has written over 130 works,many of which he composed after the age of ninety. He is 101 years old.
Becoming a composer generally starts with musical training and education. (35) There are many well-known music schools in the United States. It is not just Americans who study at these schools. At the Manhattan School of Music in New York,for example,an average of thirty-five percent of the students come from outside the United States.

33. What did Ellen Zwilich learn in New York City?
