Hello, I'm Jen! I’ve been involved with music since my teens, starting as a backing vocalist in a cover band. Early on, I qualified as a primary school teacher, and over the years, I’ve worked extensively in the third sector as well as delivering workshops for children, adults, including music sessions for people with highly complex needs.
My teaching style is calm, patient, and practical. I focus on helping you feel confident holding the ukulele, changing chords comfortably, and playing songs you actually recognise.
I truly believe everyone can enjoy the uplifting, healing benefits of music (without pressure or perfection). You don’t need to learn in a traditional way, read music, or understand theory to make real progress. Music comes from the soul, and there are many ways to express it. We can all make music in a way that feels true to us.
