Jennifer is teaching Intro to Piano Chording, accompanying Choir for All, Spirituals Choir and Musical Theatre.

Jennifer is active in the greater Toronto area as both a performer and teacher. She holds her Master’s degree in Piano Performance & Pedagogy (University of Toronto), Bachelor of Music Education (University of Western Ontario), A.R.C.T. (Royal Conservatory of Music), and Associate diploma (Conservatory Canada).
Jennifer has been a member of the Royal Conservatory of Music’s College of Examiners and currently runs a piano studio in Brampton where she offers lessons in all genres to all ages. She has been a guest clinician at the University of Toronto and for the O.R.M.T.A. and enjoys adjudicating festivals throughout Ontario.
Jennifer’s journey into piano collaboration began in her teens, accompanying church services and her high school choir for performances and choir festivals. It was during that time that she taught herself to read chord charts and gained experience playing with peers in youth bands. Since that time, many professional opportunities have allowed her to combine her Classical reading/technical skills with her ability to improvise using chord charts.
Following her university education, Jennifer went on to further studies including a collaborative piano internship in Oberaudorf, Germany as well as the musician mentorship program with the Canadian National Ballet. She pursued studies in Dalcroze Eurythmics combining her passions for movement and improvisation and took several years of ballroom dancing lessons.
Jennifer currently performs professionally at retirement homes, cocktail receptions, and weddings throughout Ontario. She is employed at Caledon East United Church, and has enjoyed accompanying the Brampton Childrens’ Chorus, the Spurrell Studio Choir and many other ensembles and vocal/instrumental soloists throughout the years.
More recently, Jennifer has formed a piano/cello duo called JS² with her good friend and colleague Jose Shapero of the Oakville Symphony. Together they have collaborated on a growing collection of original duo arrangements featuring song requests received by wedding clients young and old.
As a “hybrid musician”, Jennifer is excited to support Classically trained pianists as they discover the freedom and creativity that can be found in chording and moving beyond the written score.
