{{DISPLAYTITLE:Draft:Alexandra Harwood}} Alexandra Harwood (born 1966[1]) is an award-winning and classically-trained British composer who is most known for her film and TV scores. Early musical lifeHarwood's interest in composing started when she was very young. She described her early musical development and passion to Frances Wilson as part of her Meet the Composer interview series: "I started writing music when I was four, so I have no memory of why this was! My mother said that when I was three, I would watch television, go to the piano and play the music I’d just heard. I also loved placing my favourite story-books on the piano and would make up accompaniments as I read them. ... I never questioned that I was anything other than a composer (even though I learned the piano and clarinet during those school years), except I had a secret fantasy to be a heart surgeon!! I was a huge film and television addict as a child, which I think laid the ground for my career as film composer."{{cn}}{{AFC comment|1=Citation is coming: the source in question is currently coming up erroneously as blacklisted, which I am investigating}} Career and educationAs a composer, Harwood has written music both for concert performance and for film and TV.
