Scott wrote his first music for the school play at the age of 7. He continued composing through High School and University, for hand-bell ensemble, choir, orchestra, and band, and upon being hired at Grace Church on-the-Hill, began to write for the choirs there. In 1997 he was commissioned to compose a piece for a combined choir of 200 voices at the Churches on the Hill Choir festival. He has contributed dozens of pieces for theatre groups, dance companies, orchestras, choirs, and films. Since moving to the Yukon, he has been a regular contributor to local Avant Garde chamber group, The Problematic Orchestra, both as composer and performer.
