Teaching
Classroom Teaching
Jennifer graduated from Middlesex University with a Primary PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) including a mathematics specialism. After completing her induction year teaching in Year 4 at Hook-with-Warsash CE Academy, she is a fully qualified teacher.
Since her training, Jennifer has gained valuable experience teaching across the primary age group (4-11) in countless schools across London, Hertfordshire and the South of England. From inner city to small rural schools, Jennifer’s varied exposure has given her a comprehensive understanding of teaching and an appreciation for the differences we all have which affect how we learn.

Choir leading & other projects
Jennifer is passionate about choral singing and alongside her own professional choral experience, she has had much involvement in leading choirs. Her roles have included leading specialist workshops in schools as well as working with a number of youth projects.
During her time at Hook-with-Warsash CE Academy, Jennifer worked with award-winning music education organisation, Tomorrow’s Warriors to rehearse the school choir for a large collaborative concert with five other primary schools and a secondary school in the area. She prepared the children to perform a number of songs with the mass choir.
After working for two years at Brookfield Community School as a Saturday morning school choir leader, Jennifer was appointed to go on a month long, working trip to South Africa. This was part of a project called Global Voices set up by partner schools in the UK and South Africa to help bring music into schools in the Paarl area. Jennifer visited six local primary and secondary schools leading singing workshops and rehearsing a set of African songs. The school choirs then combined to form a mass choir, performing the African songs in a series of concerts during her stay, backed by the Global Voices Big Band.
Combining her enthusiasm for teaching and for singing with others, Jennifer set up an exciting music service for primary schools called Harmonious focussed around small group singing lessons. She led workshops and small group singing lessons in a number of schools around Hampshire and put on concerts for children, parents and teachers.
