Isaac Gabriel
River Falls, WI

Musician, Composer, Audio Engineer (BM, Percussion)

I have a degree in music and have written my own music for over five years. I took classes on composing while in college and have my own music up on every streaming service. Do you want to know where to start to write your own music? Do you like writing music but feel stuck? Do you want to know how to get your music on Spotify and other streaming services? I've had all these questions and worked through them for myself so I know what it feels like. I want to help you to be able to get your own music moving forward and I want you to enjoy the fun of music! :)

Chris Williamson
Americus, GA

Drum, Percussion, Audio Production Mentor

I started playing drums at the young age of 3 years old. I started my first gig at a local church at 5 years old and played at that church and several others until I graduated from high school at 18. My mom was a pianist since 12 and also played at several churches, so playing drums pretty much came natural to me. Growing up I did have the chance to take a couple of drum lessons so I understand how the process works. Also during my middle & high school years I had the opportunity to play in percussion and on the drum line & was section leader for most of those years. I understand music theory and how to read music for different percussion instruments such as xylophones, timpani, Congo, snare and bass drums, quads, trap set, etc. Besides from drums I have also took piano lessons in my younger days and have an associate certificate in Audio Production from Full Sail University.

Jacob Wylie
Greer, SC

Composer | Theorist | Improvisor | Teacher

I began my professional music training as a percussionist. Over time, I realized that my true passion lay not in performing, but in creating my own musical works. I added a Composition major in my undergraduate and moved on to earn my Master of Music in Composition. Now, I am one semester away from earning my Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition. My musical tastes have evolved over the years, and so too have my compositional practices. I am adept at common practice music that uses functional, tonal harmony as well as post-tonal compositional practices. I am currently writing music that is more in line with experimental and electronic styles. My ultimate goal as a teacher of music composition is to provide students with the tools they need to create the music they wish to create. I encourage students to "let the music tell you what it wants/needs to be." Through a multitude of strategies including score study, active listening, and small composition assignments, students unlock their creative potential in whatever style(s) they wish to pursue. How will we know who the next Bach or Stravinksy is if they do not have the tools to grow and succeed?

Amanda Johnson
Austin, TX

Student-centric and versatile multi-instrumentalist, composer, performer, and recording artist

How is it possible to compose music with instruments and/or computers? With tutoring in Music Composition, the mystery behind these higher concepts of music-making are broken down to the fundamentals and put back together for efficient creativity through the Gentle Release Model and Universal Backwards Design approaches that are incorporated for self-efficacy. My expertise in the field of music and education is wide-ranging and allows for students to set, achieve, and exceed goals quickly. As an experienced recording artist and producer, I've composed and performed in all genres. From Musical Theater to Latin Jazz, Big Band Jazz to Heavy Metal, they all use the 12-note scale and vertical/horizontal grids with instrument-intuitive techniques to compose. Since I am a multi-instrumentalist and advanced music theoretician, helping students work on how the chords, modes, and scales apply to their specific needs and goals is my passion. In education, I have taught any and all kinds of music classes with during and after school programs for grade PreK-high school, as well as professional development for classroom teachers in music integration practices across the US in-person and online. When I continued my own education with a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, it was to focus on online education techniques for all ages. With innovative technologies constantly evolving, I love keeping up with the different hardware and software that allows myself and students to execute amazing music-making no matter where we are!

Ryan Bevans
Halifax, MA

Music & art instruction with a therapeutic approach.

Hello, my name is Ryan Bevans and I am a 44-year-old native of Massachusetts. As an employee, I have been told I am “well rounded, with strong organization skills, attention to detail, and consistent reliability.” For the last 10 years, I have balanced a few different roles, but worked mostly as the fine arts instructor at Independence Academy. A major part of my role at Independence Academy was recovery support. My first year there I became certified as a recovery coach to better serve our population. My contributions to IA also included teaching art, meditation groups, and music lessons(guitar/ukulele/bass/piano/mandolin/song production), while also providing therapeutic support to adolescent high school students struggling with behavioral and substance-abuse issues. I facilitated and planned photography groups, a garden club, and organized open mic events. I was originally hired to build a music studio, purchase art and music equipment, and teach afterschool lessons for the school. Through my experience at Independence Academy I have also done work for an adolescent detox at Highpoint, Brockton. There I worked as a recovery specialist and facilitated daily music and art groups. Other responsibilities there occasionally included doing intakes for new patients.

Sebastián De
New York, NY

Music Instructor

I studied composition at first at the UNA (National University of Arts), which is focus on academic music. Moreover I've been studying music composition privately with the maestro Guillermo Klein, one of the most important world music composers nowadays. At the moment I recorded 6 albums of my authorship, 1 of them will be released this year. In 2022 I won the first prize of the ASCAP Young Jazz Composers, and also finalist of the 7 Virtual Jazz Club Competition. As a teacher, I've been teaching composition for 5 years, trying to approach the lessons in different ways. For me something very important is to analyze and transcribe different composers, and then to apply all those concepts in our own way.
