We understand that opera is a different experience for many of you, but we hope you can get a sense of the complexity of this wonderful art form but….Jennifer does not JUST teach opera !! Once a singer learns how to use their voices properly virtually any genre is possible from rock to rap to jazz to music theatre and on and on. Thanks for listening!
