Songwriting
jessie was phenomenal to work with and extremely grounding when it came to producing my first serious song. i came to her with my own work (poetry, photography, ideas, and other odd ends), and she was able to help me synthesize all of my thoughts and feelings, as well as fill in the necessary gaps. her style and work ethic is concrete, yet intuitive. she truly knows her stuff, and i’m sure it’s because of all of the hard work and passion she’s been funneling into her practice over the many years she’s been performing as a musician, sound artist, dj, and musical theorist. lastly i will say her approach is fresh and contemporary, yet rooted in tradition. so you will get a lot of help in both ways. i feel lucky for whoever will get to work with her next. if that is you reading this, know that you will be in good hands and that she will have your back.

Jesse has taken time with this complete beginner to help me feel comfortable and learn a lot in a short period of time. We work through a book and select music pieces of of my choice to work on as well. She keeps the lessons interesting and fun. Her technical skills and and teaching abilities far surpassed my expectations of online learning. I highly recommend Jesse!
