I'd like to put on the ever growing wish list, a series on music comp.

That's a great idea. I've considered several different ways to approach some lessons on this topic. But I've not settled on the best way to accomplish it.

I have it on my list of things to do for next year. :)

For now, consider this: the best way to learn composition is by studying (reverse engineering) compositions, or songs you like & then by imitating them (using similiar melodies, chord changes, rhythms, sections, timbres, etc.).
