Qualification
In 2014, Jenny decided to focus her career on performing music. The following year she completed an Advanced Diploma of Music (Performance) at Sydney TAFE majoring in piano and studying singing as her second instrument. There she gained experience playing to live audiences, recorded some more demo songs and performed gigs (both solo and with various ensembles) on campus, at the Foundry616 Jazz Club in Ultimo and at the Vanguard in Newtown. Jenny has been a regular patron at the Menzies Hotel Piano Bar at Wynyard where she is often seen playing whenever Kylie Stephens (resident performer and blind audition TV contestant on “The Voice 2014”) opens the microphone to guests.
Experience
At the age of 21, Jenny moved to Sydney to pursue music as a career. She played keyboard synthesizer in a local alternative rock band (Korpus Kristi) with some friends in her early twenties. Jenny worked full time for both Sony Music and then Universal Music. Whilst employed at the record companies, Jenny continued developing her piano and singing style with private lessons as well as undertaking short courses at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Jenny further honed her piano and singing skills with tuition and mentoring from Lisa Schouw (singer of ARIA nominated band Girl Overboard) and Angie Dean (Pianist/Vocalist/Teacher and regular performer at 5 Star Hotels in Sydney). This led to Jenny’s first demo CD – a piano & vocal recording of seven cover songs in 2001 at Billy Field’s iconic Paradise Studios in Woolloomooloo (which has sadly since been pulled down and replaced by apartments).
