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.💓 "

NDIS CLIENT REVIEWS

SINGING SONGWRITING

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer for about 5 months now, doing both singing lessons and sound healing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I can honestly say I have been so blessed to have connected with her. I have learnt a lot in terms of singing, gaining a lot of confidence and I am excited to keep going. Her knowledge of the voice is beyond any of the previous teachers I’ve had. I always look forwards to lessons, it’s the highlight of my week.

SOUND THERAPY AND ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY
The sound healing has been such a wonderful experience! I have tried many different types of therapy and this has by far been the best. Jennifer has such a lovely calm and patient approach, she never rushes and always feels so welcoming. She truely meets her clients where they are at, without judgement or expectation. The way she uses sound is so calming and soothing, she has an excellent understanding of the nuances of the way sound can effect both the mind and body. She combines her extensive knowledge with an intuitive approach to really give the best experience possible. She has been very welcoming and understanding of my autism and trauma and I always feel at peace whenever I visit.
