Bagpipe Lessons
Highland bagpipes require more in-person learning than most instruments, because of the musical expression and the oral traditions embedded in the culture. Jenna is passionate about keeping this tradition alive through innovative teaching. She has studied piping under Jordon Anderson, Fraser Clark, Sean Patrick Reagan, and at the College of Piping.

Montréal Piping &
Drumming School
The MPDS is a once-a-week session of group classes for beginner bagpipers and drummers. Jenna is a teacher at the school, as well as its director and Pipe Major. She designed its four-year curriculum to teach the fundamentals and get pipers & drummers ready to join any pipe band!

Composition Lessons
Jenna's primary passion is understanding how music works. She can teach you to write in the style of the composer or era of your choice, how to arrange music for any ensemble, the nuances of notation, or even the art of creating just a beautiful, simple song. The sky is the limit when you start a new piece.
