Private Lessons

“To anyone out there who has ever dreamed of singing, there’s a jewel in our midst. Her name is Jenny Davis.”

Jenny offers lessons in the privacy of her studio overlooking Admiralty Inlet on Marrowstone Island, near Port Townsend. In this setting of sweeping panoramic views of mountains, water and sky, students enjoy personalized instruction from an experienced, dedicated teacher.

Jenny’s students come from a wide range of musical backgrounds and experience. Men and women, ages 12 and older, work with Jenny to expand their vocal range, hone their skills in phrasing, scat and microphone use as well as studying proper methods of breathing and support. Solo singing is most encouraged as students build their own, personal repertoire.

Working closely with other musicians is Jenny’s special gift. Her style is upbeat and positive and you discover how exciting and dynamic singing can be when you learn to integrate your voice with the other instruments.

Jenny’s respect for all players is exceptional. She knows how to be part of the band. She shows students how to communicate better with other musicians, how to improvise by listening carefully to their playing, how to get the most out of rehearsals.

Workshops & Singer Showcase

Workshops are offered in the comfortable setting of Jenny’s home, encouraging dynamic interaction between vocalists and instrumentalists. These musical collaborations culminate with a Singer Showcase live performance at The Upstage, the Olympic Peninsula’s premier jazz club, in Port Townsend.

“Jenny’s Singer Showcase gave me the chance to perform with some great jazz players in a club setting. She taught me to listen, really listen to the other instruments. I learned to take a piece of music and create something new and different, to stylize a song, count and change tempos and how to transpose songs so they’re in the right key for my voice.”  --a jazz student

Jenny is also available to conduct music clinics, camps and school programs
