As a music technology lecturer, I bring over a million streams for my multi-genre productions and a diverse career spanning roles like, audio engineer, recording artist, international DJ, and vinyl label owner. With a BSc in Professional Sound Technology, I blend academic rigor with practical industry knowledge. I've taught at esteemed institutions like Berlin BIMM and City of Liverpool College, adapting methods like VLE software to enhance student learning. Currently pursuing Ableton certification, I've provided software development consultancy for the company.

My book proposal, 'Make House and Techno Records From Your Bedroom,' has been accepted by Routledge publishing. My work has been featured on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6, and I've performed globally, offering unique insights to aspiring musicians.

Committed to student success, I enhance attendance and retention rates through engaging teaching methodologies. In administrative roles, my industry experience, organizational skills, and leadership acumen are invaluable. I am dedicated to unlocking students' creative potential in music technology.

 
 
 

  • 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.

  • Yes I have had many 1:1 students that I taught individualized lessons too. I am still active currently.
