Jennifer began her piano studies at the age of five in the Suzuki Piano Studio of Gail Lange in Guelph. She became a familiar face in the local music scene, and at the age of 14 won the Guelph Spring Festival's Edward Johnson Music Competition. The ensuing concert was featured in a radio broadcast by the CBC. A consistent prize winner at the Kiwanis Music Festival, Jennifer placed first in the Diploma piano category of the Ontraio Music Festival Association's 2001 provincial competition. In 2003, she was a finalist in the TD National Piano Concerto Competition, and, this January placed first in the Queen's School of Music's Concerto/Aria Competition. This led to an engagement with the Kingston Symphony. She has also appeared in concert with the Quinte Symphony and Queen's Symphony orchestras performing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.
This summer, Jennifer won ORMTA's Young Artist Competition and will compete in the national finals in 2007. Jennifer has studied with Hames Anagnoson and is currently under the tutelage of Dr. Ireneus Zuk at Queen's University.
