You may as well experiment with algorithmic composition. Here's a great
open source project for learning music theory:
Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music composition
system. The Strasheela user declaratively states a
music theory and the
computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules
(constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are
expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is
style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a
fully-fledged theory of harmony). User-interface is the programming
language Oz. The results can be output into various formats including MIDI,
Csound, and Lilypond.

I also enjoy experimenting with csound, a software music synthesis system:

I'm specifically trying to get into orchestral
composition. Currently I
can read basic music notation and can play at least piano+guitar at a
basic/intermediate level.
I'd like to level up my theoretical understanding and at the same time get
some experience composing.
This looks ok, but a bit basic:

Any recommendations for online resources / books / university lectures I
can sneak into?
