About Sennen
Songwriting, Music Production & Contemporary Music Tutor
I'm a professional songwriter, performer and music producer based in Brighton, with over 15 years' experience as a working musician and over 10 years' experience teaching songwriting and music. I have an MA in Songwriting with Distinction from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) London, and have also studied music production at Point Blank London.
I teach songwriting and music production on both a 1-to-1 and workshop basis, working with beginners through to more experienced musicians. My teaching is practical, supportive and tailored to each student's goals — whether you're writing your first song, developing an EP or album, preparing for a performance or audition, or looking to develop your production skills.
Alongside teaching, I work professionally as an independent singer-songwriter and producer. I've performed at festivals including Green Man, Shambala and Boardmasters, as well as venues and events across the UK. My own music has received BBC Introducing airplay, with BBC Introducing describing it as "Gorgeously Atmospheric". I'm currently releasing my debut album, produced by Chris Hyson (Jordan Rakei, The Magic Lantern) and mixed by Daniel J Goodwin (This Is the Kit, Bonnie Light Horseman).

What I teach
Songwriting
• Developing song ideas and overcoming writer's block
• Lyric writing and finding your own lyrical voice
• Melody and harmony
• Chord progressions
• Song structure and arrangement
• Music theory for songwriters
• Creative songwriting techniques and exercises
• Developing songs from an initial idea through to a finished piece
• Feedback and constructive critique
• Preparing songs for recording, performance or release
• Developing EP and album projects
• Finding and developing your own artistic identity
Music Production
I teach music production using Logic Pro and Ableton, including:
• Recording and arranging
• Composition and creative production
• Sound selection and sound design
• Electronic music production
• Mixing and mastering
• Developing a workflow in your DAW
• Turning songwriting ideas into finished productions
I have experience working across a range of styles, including folk, acoustic pop, Americana, alt-pop and electronic music such as dance, house, electro and techno.
Guitar, Piano & Singing
I can also teach the technical and theoretical foundations of guitar, piano and singing, particularly where these skills relate to songwriting and contemporary music.
About the lessons
Do you have a song you're struggling to finish?
Are you working on an EP or album and want support developing your material?
Would you like to learn new songwriting or production techniques and develop your creative practice?
Lessons are centred around your goals, interests and existing music. We can work on songs you're already writing, start something completely new, or develop a longer-term project such as an EP or album.
I combine practical exercises and songwriting briefs with discussion, theory and constructive feedback. Depending on your needs, we might work on lyrics, melody, harmony, arrangement, production or the overall direction of a song.
I particularly enjoy helping students develop their own creative voice, rather than trying to make them sound like somebody else.
For students working towards a specific goal, I can also provide more structured programmes. I've run bespoke six-week songwriting courses tailored to individual and group learning outcomes, as well as workshops in Brighton, Lewes and at UK music festivals.
I've helped students:
• Develop and complete songs for EPs and albums
• Prepare material for live performances and open mics
• Develop audition material for successful college applications
• Build live sets
• Work through creative blocks and develop their songwriting practice
• Explore songwriting collaboratively in small groups
My aim is to provide a supportive, encouraging environment where you can experiment with your music, receive honest and constructive feedback, and develop the skills and confidence to take your ideas further.
I also offer a free 30-minute introductory meeting so we can discuss what you're looking to achieve and whether the lessons would be a good fit.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Sennen is an exceptional teacher, songwriter, musician and all round creative individual. We met through musical interests and I have learnt so much about what makes good songwriting, and grown as a musician through his mentorship. He is unique, kind and highly professional, able to offer insight, advice and expert knowledge in an accessible and fun way!
Sennen is an extremely talented singer-songwriter who exudes a refreshing originality - emerging, as it does, through many years of developing and deepening his art and craft. His MA distinction is indeed a clear validation of his dedication and intellectual curiosity for his subject. I am delighted that Sennen is also developing work in support of assisting others with their songwriting – he is, surely, a natural and talented teacher and I highly recommend his classes and workshops.

Sennen was awesome! Lovely guy to talk to and arrange the gig, super professional and a really really talented singer/songwriter/performer. We had a garden party for a 40th birthday party with a mix of parents and friends our age and everyone absolutely loved it. Had pretty much everyone up having a dance by the end of the evening. Would thoroughly recommend booking Sennen 10/10. Sally
'Sennen was recommended to Hilltop Sessions as a local singer-songwriter so we wanted to give him the opportunity to play at one of our sessions. Little did we know that he would deliver one of the most accomplished performances we’ve ever had. Brilliant, and moving songwriting, phenomenal guitar playing and a voice to match. Highly recommended!’ - Hilltop Sessions, Lewes
