With a BSc in Professional Sound Technology, I blend academic rigor with practical industry knowledge.

Currently pursuing Ableton certification, I've provided software development consultancy for the company.

In selecting learning activities to advance skill acquisition, I draw upon my extensive industry experience and academic background. Firstly, I assess the specific skill sets students need to develop based on the course objectives and their individual learning goals. Leveraging my multi-genre production experience and DJing background, I design activities that encompass both theoretical concepts and practical application, ensuring a holistic learning experience.
For example, I integrate hands-on music production sessions using industry-standard software like Ableton Live or Logic Pro, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-time. Additionally, I incorporate masterclasses where I share insights from my own experiences performing internationally and producing music that has garnered millions of streams.
I also recognize the importance of technology in modern music education. Utilizing my proficiency with VLE software like SharePoint, I create interactive online resources to supplement in-class learning, providing students with additional opportunities for skill practice and reinforcement.
Moreover, I constantly strive to stay abreast of industry developments and emerging technologies. As I pursue certification as an Ableton instructor, I incorporate the latest software features and techniques into my teaching, ensuring students are equipped with relevant and up-to-date skills.
Overall, my approach to selecting learning activities for skill acquisition is grounded in a blend of practical industry knowledge, theoretical understanding, and technological innovation, aimed at providing students with a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
