What people say
Leanne Smith
Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value
" My daughter Ella(age nearly 10 when started) has been a student with Adelaide Hills Arts since 2017.
She has grown in confidence and learnt many skills and techniques that has enabled her to blossom and find her special voice thanks to Jennifer. Jennifer has embraced Ellas unique personality and performance style with patience and respect at all times. She has challenged Ella to be the best she can be and supported her when Ella has found challenges in songs and belief in her own capabilities.
Jennifer has encouraged Ella and supported her throughout this journey of finding her voice, performing skills and confidence.
I highly recommend Adelaide Hills Arts to anyone who has a passion for singing/music/performing.
Jennifer’s undeniable talent, professionalism, knowledge,
experience, communication and genuine warm supportive nature which my daughter has been lucky enough to experience has no doubt positively influenced her to believe in herself and her talent going forward.
A huge thanks to Jennifer.💓 "
