Winner of X Factor 2013

"Annie" the musical at the Civic Theatre in Auckland New Zealand

Winner of the Billy T Comedy Award

Here is a quote directly from Jackie Thomas:

"I had never had a singing lesson pre- x factor, so I contacted Jennifer just a week before I was due to sing at judges retreat in Rarotonga.  I was a very very shy singer (and person) and she helped to teach me the basics and build my confidence very quickly.  She encouraged me when I broke down in tears infront of her due to the nerves and stress.  I feel like I've not just found a great singing teacher, but an awesome friend."

Quote from David helping him prepare for the International Comedy Festival Show

"As a comedian I have no business of being a singer.
But Jennifer helped get my show to the next level by teaching me to sing with emotion and energy.
She was very accommodating as a teacher and never made me feel self conscious or nervous while rehearsing.10/10 would sing again."​

 "My mum heard about the Auditions for Annie and asked me if I wanted to try out.  I did because I loved dancing and putting on shows for my family and friends... but I hadn't ever sang before.  So we searched the internet and found Jennifer.  She was amazing, right from the beginning.  So kind and patient and fun, yet full of great advice.  I looked forward to my sessions with Jennifer, she really understood me and I began to love to sing.  I even joined the performance choir at school.  Now you just can't stop me, I love it.  Thank you Jennifer for helping me find my voice and get into Annie, it's changed my life!

Lucy Taylor played Orphan Duffy

"I wanted to audition for the UK production of Annie when it came to Auckland but I never dreamed I'd get in!  Mum contacted Jennifer to give me some help with the songs and script once I got down to the last group of 60 girls.  Jennifer was so fun and I'm sure she was the reason I did well in the auditions because she helped me with singing and the acting and I got the part of 'Orphan Duffy'!  Now that Annie is finished, I'm still getting singing lessons with her."

For all lessons, a 24 hour cancellation is required as the week fills up quickly and would love for you to still have your lesson.  I realise at times 24 hours is not feasible to give notice due to sudden illness or an emergency however I reserve the right for $80.00 to be billed for the cancelled lesson.
