Who among the following in visuals is not considered a baroque style composer?
The beginning of the classical period was in around 1750, so any composers whose music was published around this date or after aren't baroque composers. The most famous baroque composers include Handel, J.S Bach and Vivaldi, whilst the pioneers of the classical era were Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
Are there any female composers?
YES! Quite a few women composers were very famous at the time and made a living as performers and composers, if that is how you define success. Do a search for "Baroque Women Composers", and you will learn of a dozen or more. Here's three that were especially famous in their own life times to get you started: Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, and Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. There are also performers today that specialize in finding and performing music by Baroque women including Ars Femina and La Donna Musicale.
What are composers for the Recorder?
The recorder was the most common instrument in the renaissance by a long what so many, many composers compose for it. It was still popular in the baroque period though not the most. So, I'm guessing there are thousands of them. In the Renaissance the music wasn't written "For Recorder" but "For Soprano" so it could be any instrument able to play in that range.
Most of the baroque music you hear today comes from which baroque period?
Music from the baroque period was great masterpieces from composers such as J.S. Bach and L. v. Beethoven. One of the major things the differenciates music from the Baroque period to any other is that the majority of music written at the time were composed and performed on a harpsichord, which is like a piano in many respects but it has no dynamic contrast and has two sets of keys (one on top, one on bottom) and pieces were written specificlly for the harpsichord and maybe a small ensemble but not a whole orchestra. Just as Pop music originated from America and reggae originated from Jamaica, Baroque music originated from Central Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria etc) and is still the home of Classical music today. Also, Baroque music usually consists of simple, easy-to-remember melodies because this was sort of the first real genre and composers were at a walking pace when it came to composing so did not want to over-complicate themselves (if that makes any sense at all!) That is all I know about the Baroque period, hope it helps!
How did baroque musicians come to be musicians?
To become a musician in the Baroque period, one had to be a son of a musician or become an apprentice. Most composers were choir boys who learned about music in choir school. If one didn't have any parents, they also had a chance to be a musician. Orphans were trained in music, so they could be put in operas as actors or instrumentalists.

Well, to be brutally honest, there aren't any famous composers, i.e. any composers that wrote anything well-known, from Australia. None of the composers that have their own category on WikiAnswers are Australian, and there are so many Australian composers I couldn't possibly give you a list of all of them.
Who were Baroque composers from Russia?
There weren't any. Berezovsky, the first Ukrainian composer, lived in the Classical (post-Baroque) era, and on the premises of what I've heard of him, he wasn't even a proper composer (i.e., had little to do with the Western musical tradition, although Wikipedia claims he had a connection with Metastasio, the greatest Baroque librettist); the first Russian composer was Glinka, a Romantic period "composer" who wrote primarily heavily folk music -influenced pieces (thence, more of a folk "composer" than a proper composer).
Did any composers go to college?
Yes
