Congratulations Kiara and Jane!

Jenessa has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from the American Musical Dramatic Academy from NYC and LA campuses. She has performed professionally as a singer and a dancer with Norwegian Cruise Lines. After graduating AMDA, Jenessa signed with Bloc Talent agency in L.A., for singing, dancing and commercial acting. Jenessa trains students in all styles including Broadway/ Musical Theater, Pop, Classical, Country, Rock and Jazz. She loves to prepare students for college and professional auditions. Jenessa teaches in person at the top rated Music School on the Westside, Los Angeles.

Please message me if you cannot find a time slot. I can help you to find the needed time and day.

If the student wants more specific training geared towards musical theater and Broadway, which include more performing and acting concepts we can go that route if wanted. This is definitely one of my specialties and areas of experience personally and professionally.

I have sang professionally as a lead vocalist with Norwegian Cruise Lines as well as at Equity theaters and I am an EMC candidate for Equity the Broadway union.

I had never sang in front of anyone except of my parents and i was scared to start singing class because i am very shy when it comes to singing. Ms. Janessa helped me come out of my shell and give me very good tips to help me improve and now i feel comfortable and confident in my singing!

Really great class. Great for both preparing you for the recital and just for preparing you to sing in front of people in general. You also get a chance to meet other singers. Jenessa gives great feedback.

First, I like to learn what the students goals and experience are. As well as what kind of repertoire they want to work on. This will determine how I will work with the student. Ultimately it is about the student and what they need. Everyone will require different things depending on their skill level, goals and experience. 

Typically we will work on scales and vocal warms up at the beginning of the lesson. I will ask the student to have their own notebook to take notes. Then we will focus on different repertoire and building their book of music, among many other things.

Something I am passionate about is teaching my students how to practice the right way and what to practice. As well as learning how to sight sing. To sight sing is to sing from sheet music without having seen it before or heard the song before.
