Jenny Davis is a Seattle area vocal instructor/coach and working jazz vocalist with more than 25 years of international performance and teaching experience. She holds an MFA in Music Composition (Vermont College of Fine Arts), a BM from Cornish College of the Arts, and served as a graduate assistant at CalArts in Los Angeles. Jenny’s performing career across the U.S., Europe, and Canada—and collaborations with world-class jazz musicians—bring real-world insight and professional experience directly into her studio.

Trained in Classical, Opera, and Jazz voice, Jenny specializes in  practical technique. Known for a patient, upbeat, and fun teaching style, she creates a trusting, comfortable environment where students of all ages feel supported—many stay with her for years. She treats the voice as a precision instrument—teaching breath support, vocal placement, and phrasing—so students learn to “play” their voice with control and expression. Jenny guides young singers, adults returning to music after a long break, and beginners alike.

A dedicated songwriting and composition instructor, Jenny teaches notation, transposition, and recording studio preparation. She coaches students for auditions and talent contests, leads clinics, workshops, and classes for high schools and colleges, and teaches jazz combo band leadership and singer-musicianship. She created the Singer’s Toolbox program to give students practical skills for performance, rehearsal, and leading ensembles. A recording artist, Jenny has produced four albums and frequently works in the studio coaching singers through their own recording projects. Her instrumental and vocal compositions have received national recognition and rave industry reviews.

Many students go on to college music programs, professional performance, and leading their own ensembles. With an upbeat, positive approach, Jenny equips every student with the technique, musicianship, and confidence needed to succeed as a singer, songwriter, and band leader.
