Hello! My name is Jennifer Faulkner. I welcome this wonderful opportunity to help raise up a new generation of singers and worshippers at Firmly Planted. I love teaching beginning voice students, and do so with creativity, kindness, and FUN! My varied experiences working with Neurotypical and Neurodivergent students allow me to create fun vocal lessons and practice plans per the needs and abilities of each student.
Details: Lessons are for ages 6 - adult. Tuition for weekly 30-minute lessons is $110 per month; 45-minute lessons are $155 per month. Voice lessons use a mixed-voice approach (as opposed to a strictly classical approach). The following will be covered: vocal care and anatomy, breathwork, voice placement in the mask (face), harmonies, ear and pitch training, along with theory, rhythm, and sight reading. Students will apply weekly vocal exercises to pieces they want to learn. Lessons for younger children incorporate rhythm and movement, all around musicianship, and lots of singing.
BIO: I offer a lifetime of music education, performance, worship leading, and private teaching experience. Armed with a BA in Music from Simpson College (now Simpson University), I've taught private lessons for over 32 years, homeschooled my children, taught at a Christian preschool, and have worked in the public education system as a Paraprofessional in Special Ed and Kindergarten . I am a licensed KiddyKeys Preschool Music program teacher and have taught at various Camas/Vancouver preschools. One of my most challenging and rewarding music teaching experiences was creating and implementing a school wide music education and choral program for a private Christian School.
