Jack (Tutor in Essex)

I offer introductory to intermediate courses in sound engineering and production. From studying the basics of sound waves and psychoacoustics, to creating sound effects using synthesis and even coding your own synthesisers, my audio production lessons provide an insight into the often mysterious world of sound outside of music. Having studied all sound engineering and design through various modules across two degrees, I am well suited to introducing people wishing to expand their musical education to the world of audio production.

As a songwriter and trained composer, I can teach you the basics of writing music in a variety of styles, regardless of whether you are a trained instrumentalist, a computer-based producer or even someone whose only just started to learn about music. I will show you how to analyse and deconstruct tracks and songs in various ways, so that you can learn what goes into composing music in a given style. I can also introduce you to the basics of composing for media such as television, film and even video games.

I tutor beginner to intermediate level players, in a range of pop and rock styles. I can also provide introductory lessons to Classical Guitar playing for anyone with a suitable Spanish style (gut/nylon string) guitar. My approach integrates theory and musicology into the lessons, complimenting the practical and technical aspects of playing guitar with a broader musical understanding.

As a trained producer and certified Pro Tools and Logic user, I can teach you all the essentials needed to start being a producer and digital composer. From the basics of waveforms, envelopes and MIDI protocol through to creating your own software synthesisers and sample banks, I will provide you with all the skills and knowledge needed to compliment your musical and compositional abilities. My music production lessons perfectly compliment the learning material for Music Technology at A-Level, and can help with certain modules of the Music GCSE as well.

Though the Music Technology A-Level is a step in the right direction for anyone wishing to take the subject at university, it is actually quite limited in terms of what it teaches the students. My lessons on the subject draw from my two degrees worth of learning about the likes of synthesis, recording techniques and music production. Hopefully, this will allow my students to fill any gaps in their knowledge and to explore more fully what makes this subject such a fascinating one: the actual production of sound and music via all sorts of interesting technologies.

As well as being able to guide you through the typical Music Theory grades taught at school, my music theory lessons will introduce you to the far more interesting realm of pop musicology. I will teach you how to apply those abstract theoretical concepts you may already know to the analysis of music, so that eventually you`ll be able to dissect and deconstruct a given style and compose within it.
