About me
With a Masters Degree in Music Composition from the University of Texas at Austin, I am an experienced composer of original music for film, video games, and concert music.For film, podcasts, TV, and web series, I can create underscore, intro music, and transition music. For video games and apps, I can create in-game sounds, background music, and soundscapes.
For concert music, I engrave and sell scores of my original music. I accept commissions for acoustic, electroacoustic, and electronic music. I also arrange and engrave music for my clients, such as part creation, score clean-up, and transcriptions.

Her works have been premiered nationally, notably at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music at the University of Georgia and the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin. Most recently, her work Lights and Smoke for wind ensemble premiered at the North Central Conference of CBDNA by the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse Wind Ensemble. In addition to commissioning works privately, Jacobs has participated in the Charlotte New Music Festival and the Fresh Inc. Festival in Chicago.
