To most people, senior Jonathon Stutchman is a student, a leader, a classmate, a friend, and even a musician, yet few people know that behind his quiet exterior Stutchman harbors a hidden talent: He is a composer.

Stutchman is a self-taught composer who has penned more than 40 full pieces of music, of which two have been published.
