About Jennifer
I focus on the needs of the student not just what I want to teach them. There is no one size fits all in my approach to teaching. I want to focus on what the student's goals are, and then help them to meet those goals as soon as possible.
I love watching my students learn, gain confidence and succeed. I love music and love to be able to share it with others.
I started teaching Private lessons in local music stores from 2005 to 2017. I taught out of a studio in a music store for about 12 years. I just moved my teaching studio to my home in 2017.
Studied at:
-Berklee College of Music
-Wisconsin Conservatory of Music
-Suzuki Acadamy of Green Bay
-Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (Recording/Audio engeneering)
-Over 30 years of music study thru personal private lessons with very knowlegble and talented teachers.

I do not have a one size fits all approach to teaching. Everyone has different learning styles and different learning needs.
I indentify the students musical goals and current skill levels. Then depending on the instrument they want to learn, I decide, with the input of the student or their parents, on the method that would best suit the student.
Depending on the instrument, (for instance: Guitar, Bass guitar, Ukulele or Mandolin) some prefer or need a very structured learning style, but very often, some students learning the just mentioned instruments, prefer to just learn chords or songs at first.
If that is the case, I focus on getting them playing songs as soon as possible, and focus on teaching theory along the way, so they understand what they are playing. If I see they are struggling with basics, I incorporate more structure to build skill levels. As time goes on, they usually want to learn to read music as well. when they are ready, they learn notation.
Students who want to learn Violin, Piano or Banjo would be taught with a very structured style with theory incorporated into the lessons as we go. Violin and Piano students would definately learn notation from the get go.
I have worked with young children, teens, and adults of all ages. 5 to 85
I have had great success with teaching kids on the spectrum, as I absolutley enjoy teaching them.
Look for one who cares, listens, and has a personal interest in your success as a musician. A teacher who does not care whether you practice or not, is a big red flag, not just a really nice teacher.
I have a annual summer outdoor recital /cook out in my yard every year, complete with professional sound system and stage experience. It is a great way to showcase my students and have a great day of fun with them and their families.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Before the learning process:
1. Do I have an instrument that is in good shape and in playable condition?
If not, or if you don't know, ask yourself, should I have it checked out at a local music store, and have set up to be more playable?
For example, new strings or neck set up on guitar, bass, mandolin, or banjo. If you purchase a new instrument at a music store, make sure they set it up for you. If you buy online, chances are it is not set up correctly and you should have some one check it out.
If your instrument is hard to play, I will suggest that you go in somewhere to have it adjusted and get the right gauge strings put on. I can change strings and, in some cases, do minor neck adjustments.
2. Am I willing to commit to a regular practice schedule at home?
With out practice you will not succeed. There is no other formula.
When well into the learning process:
1. Do I already have access to the answers in my learning experience or learning materials?
2. Could I do a bit of research in my notes if I have forgotten something, rather than just asking for the answer?
I never answer a direct question that I know the student has already learned the answer to. I draw out what the student already knows. If they are truly unable to come up with the answer, I review the material. I like to teach my students to build on what they know, have confidence in what they know, and retain what they know thru practical application.

Jennie individualizes lessons for students, combining theory with application. When our son has a song he wants to learn, Jennie helps him find a version within his ability level so he is successful as a guitarist; this motivates him to continue with his lessons and practicing. She has been flexible with lessons that have needed to be rescheduled and offers online lessons in addition to in-person lessons.
Jennie is always patient with any musical lesson. Her wealth of knowledge on instruments and musical theory is amazing! She keeps students interested and motivated.
I highly recommend Jennie's music! I started lessons with Jennie when I was in middle school, and I learned so much while having a lot of fun at the same time. I continued working with her when I was in high school and she really encouraged me in my own songwriting and helped me do some recording. I'm still playing guitar now and the skills she helped me develop have been incredibly valuable.
Jennie is a patient, kind person. She has pushed my children to learn music theory to playing their favorite music. Jennie has gone out of her way to make guitar and piano truly enjoyable for my kids.
We love Ms. Jennie and Jennie's Music, she's always great and my daughter loves her teaching style.
Jennie was my teacher between the ages of 10 and about 17. The defining characteristic of that experience was Jennie being much more interested in motivating me and cultivating my musical interest, than she was being a disciplinarian over an instrument. I never found myself practicing out of obligation or being intimidated by her, which kept music exciting. She instigated my curiosity and directed my growth, and she did it with genius foresight. Retrospectively, as someone who has since taken many music classes with many instructors being an audio engineering major, I can recognize and appreciate how special that ability is in a music teacher. To simply say Jennie taught me to play guitar would be insulting. Jennie brought my fledgling interest to a lifelong passion. She laid the foundation for my musical taste and shaped the ethics I carry to music, all the while maintaining the essence of serenity that made it appealing to begin with. At 23, music is an invariable tenant of my life and it’s frightening to imagine it without the affinity for music Jennie was so instrumental in affording me. My world is far richer having known and learned from Jennie, I’ll always be profoundly grateful for her.
Guitar lessons with Jennie have been the best thing I've ever given my daughter. Jennie is patient, encouraging, and passionate about her craft, and she goes out of her way to instill confidence in her students. My normally very shy daughter can now be heard animately telling Jennie about her day and laughing about song lyrics. She loves playing and is proud of her accomplishments after every lesson. I highly recommend Jennie's Music!
Flexible, adapts to our goals, fun. Sets realistic expectations.
My daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Jennie for a couple of years now. Not only is Jennie very personable and easy to work with, she makes sure to understand what goals the student has and what kind of music they are interested in. Jennie adjusts learning as needed and challenges students to bring out their best. Jennie has also been very accommodating on the rare occasion that we need to reschedule a lesson due to a conflict. My daughter has truly enjoyed having Jennie as a teacher and mentor.
Very knowledgeable, tailors the lesson to the student.
My overall experience with my daughter taking guitar lessons from Jenny has been so easy and enjoyable.
Jenny is so passionate and has patience with new students learning a instrument. She will find different ways of teaching so student can adapt. My daught enjoys every lesson with Jenny.
I have referred my friends to her. My daughter's friends has started taking lessons from Jenny too.Jennie has always been very patient when working with my son. He has been taking lessons for the last 4 years ever since he was 7 years old. She always strives to help her students succeed!
Very patient with my son who is NOT musically inclined whatsoever.
My daughter began guitar lessons with Jennie when she was 9 years old. She started with no knowledge of music and now has instrument that she loves to play. Jennie made her feel very comfortable and has taught her everything she knows about playing. She appreciated that Jennie adapted lessons to fit her needs and interests. She progressed so much in the 2 1/2 years with Jennie! Highly recommend!
She is very friendly, knowledgeable & made learning to play the guitar fun for my son.
Jennie does a great job teaching the individual student. She has a curriculum that can be adjusted to fit each student. I started with the basics, learned a full song that I could go out and play right away and also learned theory when I was ready for it. She has a great rapport with her students and I would highly recommend her as a teacher.
Jennie is a great guitar teacher! My son has learned so much from her and really enjoys going to his lessons. She also puts on a wonderful concert for her students to showcase their talents!
Jennie challenges my daughter in her learning, yet also allows her to personally select music that she desires to play. Jennie is an extremely personable and pleasant instructor. Due to Jennie’s teaching style, my daughter has learned to understand and play guitar efficiently and effectively.
