Singing and Vocal Coaching: If you are interested in learning more about singing and haven't had any experience, this is the class for you. If you are an experienced performer and want to further your knowledge in your area of your expertise, I can tailor your classes to suit your needs. I believe in centering the lessons around the student to work on what excites them. I love helping students find their natural voice with great technique to maintain vocal health all while expressing emotion within a song. 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. These are a few examples of the techniques I teach in my class ranging from Beginners to Advanced students: Breath Tone Position Diction Range Scales Audition and performance preparation If you would like to learn a certain genre, feel free to let me know. These are a few examples of the genres I teach: Pop/Rock R&B Country Jazz Soul Musical Theatre Classical If there is a certain song you would like to work on in class, feel free to bring it; otherwise I will choose a song that is best for your voice. I also am a songwriter/recording artist and can work on the artistry side of music.
