About Samantha
**PLEASE NOTE: I am currently only offering remote lessons for composition, songwriting, and music theory. I am not currently able to offer in-person lessons for these services. Apologies for the inconvenience**
Have you ever wanted to learn how to write original music? Want to take your songwriting to the next level, or try your hand at scoring a film or play? I'm a professional composer and sound designer, and a graduate of the Yale School of Music. I have three years experience teaching students from elementary school to postgraduates, and I love teaching everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned musicians who want to explore composition. My specialties are instrumental, orchestral, electroacoustic music and sound design, and I work across classical, contemporary, film, and theatrical projects. I look forward to helping you meet your creative goals!

Teaching composition is the best job in the world! I love how individual composition is - it varies so much from person to person, no two lessons are the same. I love introducing students to new pieces and concepts, troubleshooting technical problems, and helping them discover their individual voice and meet their personal goals. Compositon is truly a lifelong skill, and I hope that the tools and strategies I pass on to my students last a lifetime!

My process varies depending on what the student's goals are, so my first step is to talk about what they'd like to explore or achieve in their lessons. Then I like to use playlists to get to know their musical interests, and from there we mutually set tasks for each lesson.

Perfect! I have been taking music theory and composition lessons with Samantha for about six months and could not recommend her more highly. She has taken me to a new level, and we have had tons of fun on the way!
