I currently live in Gilbert, AZ and am a certified Let's Play Music instructor. I have been teaching Let's Play Music in my home since 2008 and I LOVE it! I have also taught private violin and piano lessons for 28 years, with training in Let's Play Music, Suzuki and traditional methods as well as a BA degree in Elementary Education from Arizona State University.
In addition to my teaching background, I have many years of experience in performing, including as the Concertmaster violinist of the Tempe Symphony in Arizona, solo performances in Chicago, Illinois, and participating in hundreds of concerts and recitals throughout the Phoenix valley with various symphonies and musical ensembles.
I am married to a professional-level cellist and we have four amazing children. My three boys are all Let's Play Music graduates and have continued their musical training in cello, string bass and piano and have had much success in their musical endeavors. Our daughter is continuing her piano skills as well as violin and preparing to start harp lessons soon. Our home is filled with music at all times! We are loud but we love it!
If you have never seen a Let's Play Music class in action then feel free to come and observe one of the classes I am currently teaching. Email me at jen@LPMwithJen.com to schedule a visit or answer any questions you might have about Let's Play Music.
The function of beauty in the education of children is to lead them imperceptibly to love, through sensory experience, what they will afterwards learn to know in its own form as an intelligible principle.
