About Jenny
Jenny has been joyfully making music at the piano since she was a young child. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance from Brigham Young University and is a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music.
Jenny loves teaching piano lessons and has been doing so since 1998. As she has turned her attention in the past few years to being a mother, her focus in piano has naturally become centered on teaching young children. Jenny developed and co-wrote her own preschool music class curriculum when her oldest son was three years old; she loves helping young children experience the joy of music! She also loves teaching young-at-heart students of all ages, and particularly enjoys helping adult pianists develop their technique and expression in their playing. Jenny is a naturally happy and enthusiastic teacher, and loves creating fun resources for her students and sharing them with others.
Jenny 
also played violin for nine years in school orchestras, and she was the organist for her church congregation for several years. Jenny is married to a very talented pianist who is an optometrist by day. They love playing duets together and making music with their five children.
