Sebastian Herbert-Jackson

I teach the fundamentals of musical composition using notation software and DAWs, like Dorico and Cubase etc. These fundamentals cover elements such as; sound, melody, rhythm, pitch, structure, texture, form, harmony, expression etc. I believe the best way to teach is through passion and leadership to bring out ones greatest potential. I take music seriously and it will be in my greatest effort to teach you what I know, and help you advance in your compositional studies. I have previous experience teaching in the form of volunteer work, just for the joy of it.

Before this, I worked with a choir as a tenor and baritone choral singer for Keele Chapel Choir, and performed at many concerts. We were given copious amounts of sheet music every Saturday to learn for the following week. There were approximately 30-40 members, and we all had to rely on each others skills and communication to give an excellent performance.

Following this, my compositions lead me to the opportunity of working for a private collaborator on a video game called "The Chronicles of Akov". An adventure/fantasy video game. This game contains over 50 minutes of my music, composed in various styles to support the narrative and emphasise important cues in the game.

Later on, I obtained a HE certificate in music theory from Coursera - a course supported by Michigan State University. This course was constructed by Bruce Taggart, an expert music theorist and musician who teaches music at Michigan University. This was a great experience for me, and I enjoyed it tremendously.
