TEACHING
SINGING TEACHER, CHOIR CONDUCTOR AND PUBLIC SPEAKING COACH
I find potential and help it flourish…
My musical journey began over 22 years ago and alongside my classical singing career I have more than 14 years of professional teaching experience, this includes conducting children’s choirs at both state and private schools and theatre schools and for music festivals in the UK and at International private schools abroad, such as the renowned Berlin International School in Berlin, where I was appointed as their Choir Director and Singing Teacher and with whom I collaborated at the Berlin Philharmonic for their school music festival, alongside other public events. I also worked at the Scuola Paritaria Primaria Bilingue private international school in Lucca, Italy, for whom I was both the Music Director and Choir Leader.
"Jennifer is a wonderful singing teacher and I thoroughly recommend her. My daughter started lessons with her at age 7. Jennifer discovered her voice and patiently encouraged her to find her own path into singing, whilst helping her prepare songs for singing exams and competitions. Jennifer especially helped her with breathing techniques so she could sustain notes and supported her throughout her journey. She auditioned successfully to be a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral and now sings in 2 University Choirs."
