began singing in elementary
school and performed in

college productions as a child.
She also studied piano and
played flute in the marching

selected for honor bands and
choirs. She competed in
festivals, talent shows and
pageants. She won trophies, a
music camp scholarship, and
talent scholarships to college.
Throughout the years she has
been a soloist in choirs,
theatre productions, and has

worship leader. She has written
songs for adults and children.
Currently, she home schools her
two sons, owns and operates
Starlight Music Studio,
and leads worship in churches,
conferences, and ladies
retreats. She enjoys a variety
of styles of music and is
versatile. She particularly
loves singing American Jazz
standards, but has fun with
classical and rock too.
She enjoys giving audiences that
full gamut of sounds as the
keyboardist/flutist/ singer in Tucksedo.
Curriculum
Favorites

Jennifer has taught out of
many different piano methods and
tries to choose the one that best
suits the learning style of each
student. She does not believe in
one size fits all. However, she
favors the Hal Leonard Piano
Library, Alfred's Music for Little Mozarts,
Lyn Kleiners's Music
Rhapsody, and Plankroad Publishing.
She uses Orff, and
Kodaly methodology, (For all you
music education aficionados out
there,) and believes in protecting
voice health & good technique.
