Teaching highlights
Taught the winner of New Zealand’s X Factor 2013 Jackie Thomas
Here is a quote directly from her: I had never had a singing lesson pre – x factor, so I contacted Jennifer just a week before I was due to sing at judges retreats in Rarotonga. I was a very very shy singer (and person) and she helped to teach me the basics and build my confidence very quickly. she encouraged me when I broke down in tears in front of her due to the nerves and stress. I feel like I’ve not just found a great singing teacher, but an awesome friend.

Born in the United States with 15 years of classical training for music and theatre, I am a passionate teacher that would like to help you! If you want casual lessons, I can do that or if you want to actively audition and try to establish yourself in the industry, we can achieve that too.

I also had the privilege teaching musical theatre/theatre and singing at Westend performing arts school in Melbourne and 12 years in New Zealand.
