TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Jenny Boster is a classically-trained pianist, piano teacher and writer who has been playing the piano and drawing ever since she was a little girl. She loves combining her interests to create fun and original resources for teachers, which she shares on her website The Playful Piano. She has loved teaching piano lessons for more than twenty years! Jenny is passionate about encouraging students to listen to and gain a love for classical music.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Jenny loves teaching piano lessons and has been doing so since 1998. As she has turned her attention in the past several years to being a mother, her focus in piano has naturally become centered on teaching younger children. Jenny developed and co-wrote her own preschool music class curriculum when her oldest son was three years old; she loves helping young children experience the joy of music! She also loves teaching young-at-heart students of all ages, and particularly enjoys helping adult pianists develop their technique and expression in their playing. Jenny is a naturally happy and enthusiastic teacher.
