For those of you starting out or looking at improving your musical knowledge I've found this site http://audio.tutsplus.com/category/tutorials/composition/ to be really handy. It has tutorials that range from composing epic orchestral to overcoming your writers block or even into mixing/mastering. I've used it quite often lately and thought that I would share it for all of you that don't know its there!

That website is outstanding, thanks for sharing.

Agreed, it's a very good resource.
