Whether
in a workshop, classroom or a private lesson,
Jennifer Winkler's philosophy on teaching is to
"keep it fun!" She believes that there is something
to be learned in all forms of music and is willing
to let the student explore. She focuses on each
student’s needs, desires and abilities and tailors
each lesson accordingly. Vocally, Jennifer’s
techniques cover everything from Broadway belt to
opera, focusing on clarity of the words – not just
the sound. As a piano instructor, her approach keeps
the student interested and excited while learning
the basics of reading music. Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Musical Theatre from Loretto Heights College in
Denver, Colorado. She has taught piano, voice and
music theatre production in public and private
schools, churches and her own studio. She was the
artistic director for the One Direction Actor’s
Workshop and has been a guest teacher for music
theatre programs for children throughout Los
Angeles. Ms. Winkler is a proud member of Actors’
Equity Association.
Jennifer has performed throughout the country in
various regional productions and national tours. She
has performed a variety of lead roles, including Eva
Peron in "Evita", Sandy in "Grease", Guenevere in
"Camelot", Anita in "West Side Story", and as Kaye
in the West Coast Premiere of "The Taffetas". She
has worked as a professional Christmas Caroler for
Aaron Spelling, John Tesh and Connie Selleca, Dick
Clark and Dick Van Dyke and has appeared on
television’s "Star Search". Jennifer has toured the
world performing for Crystal Cruises, the industry
leader in luxury cruising, and continues her
association with them as casting director for male
and female vocalists.
Currently teaching in Burbank, California and
throughout the San Fernando Valley, as well as at
the Lori Moran Music Studios on Wilshire Blvd. in
Los Angeles, Jennifer has a roster of students
ranging from 5 year-olds to 68 year-olds. She offers
lessons in piano, voice or a combination of the two.
