Mmm. Depends what kinda mage you want. Ice mage, fire mage, lightning mage, a mix of them, etc.
Generally for beginners, though...
Rank musical knowledge and composing first to make it a bit easier for you, I'd say.
Then Icebolt to r9 and lightningbolt to r5 for now (and firebolt to rF). Also rank critical hit and magic mastery while you're at it xD
Fusion bolt to rF would be a good move as well, as would ranking meditation a bit.
The elemental masteries really depend on your preference of skills and what you prefer to use more. They're not too much use in the beginning, though, so save them for after you get an adv magic.
When you get to adv magic, you could invest in IS since you're an elf so the low mana cost will be amazing, but you should still get TH to r6 (at the very least r9) so you could raft on your mage elf.
I think that's all a beginner mage needs...
