About Jessica (in her own words)

I love music and working with people. I started teaching music in 2001 after completing the Jazz program at MRU and have finished a B.A. Music from the UofC. I enjoy helping people to achieve their goals and learn how to use music to make life more pleasurable. I mentor my students in music as life lessons and teach them transferable life skills, such as: persistence, frustration tolerance, long term goals, personal achievement, energy investment, delayed gratification, and receiving constructive feedback. We learn these skills through music theory, drilling fundamentals, musical explorations and having fun while learning. Think of me as your music coach or cheerleader. I am also a songwriter and member of SOCAN since 1987. I teach my students how to write songs and learn their basics more thoroughly through this creative exercise. I have published many independent music recordings and have music theory coloring books available to purchase online.
