And for those of you who don't know me very well yet, here's my latest swank...

For over a decade, I've helped others grow their voices and expressive presence. My private coaching, group programs and team collaborations have supported the skills and healing of hundreds of people in the realms of creative exploration and performance. Through that work I've strengthened my own Whole Voice, now expressed through the music, writing and art of .

*Whole Voice = the full creative expression of whatever we need to share in the world: speaking, singing, songwriting, music production, filmmaking, drawing, painting, poetry, dancing, blogging, activism, community service... and all the rest of the magical possibilities ✨

Message from Jenn...

🌱 Grow Your Voice 🌱 launches on June 21 !!

I've helped people grow their voices and expressive presence for over a decade. That work strengthened the roots of my own Whole Voice*, which blossomed into project jelinora (link in comments)

So I'm inspired to help you explore, strengthen and confidently say what you want to say, how you LOVE to say it!

Feel free to email [email protected] for some early access and launch celebration discounts 🧡💙🧡

Don & Jenn, the founders of D&J Music, are still here offering live and online music and performance education and consultation for groups and individuals! We're also off exploring other projects and places, so our social media presence is verrrrrrry limited. Please give us a shout to see what we're up to, and tell us your needs so we can try to accommodate them!

Covid has changed the landscape on the kinds of programs and services we're able to sustain within our local rural community and beyond. As of right now, we're uncertain what direction to pivot towards, so please feel free to message us with your interests-- we may be able to accommodate them on a short-term and/or consulting basis.

Did you know we have a sliding scale for all children's lessons?

Because we believe youth should have no barriers to learning through Music and Performance, anyone aged 17 and under is eligible for FREE lessons with any of our teachers, or can simply pay as needed, no questions asked :D

That goes for our Skype lessons too, which we offer in Voice, Performance, Songwriting and much more... contact [email protected] today for more info!

A few months ago we received some wonderful words from a number of families that speak volumes about our programs. You can read them below, and if you like what you read please register for one of our summer camps today at www.thetfordrec.com!

"Each child at camp is valued and supported in their own individual talents, and given the chance to be part of a group performance. They learn from the camp leaders, who are experienced musicians and performers, and also from the community that is formed during the course of the camp. I also appreciate the fact that during a D&J Music camp, kids have the opportunity to try out an instrument. My younger daughter first tried out piano at music camp and has since begun taking lessons."

"Children and families have many camps to choose from in the Upper Valley, and when I began talking with my daughter about camp options for this coming summer, she asked me to check with Jenn so that she could first sign up for every session of music camp and then fill the remaining weeks with other camps. Jennifer and the staff of instructors offer a great balance of learning structure and creative freedom. They provide solid music instruction in an environment of support, encouragement, humor and fun. Children feel safe to experiment, to make mistakes and to learn. And what they learn in a week's time is amazing!"

"What we noticed every night was that our son was happy and talking about music, had a stack of musical 'notes' he had been working on, and was talking about trying instruments other than the family guitar."

"With three children and two full-time jobs, we're always looking for affordable, quality options during breaks. Both our 4th and 2nd graders have participated in D&J Camps and have enjoyed the experience a lot. They have not just gained experience with creative collaboration, performance and fundamental music and theater skills, they have also learned how to provide useful feedback to their peers, something that has and will continue to benefit them as citizens in the classroom and community."

"The first year I sent one of my kiddos she was the youngest one there. I was worried because there were a lot of older kids and at that time she was very shy. I remember her not wanting to leave after the first day!! Much to my surprise on the final day of camp she actually got up and performed with a group. This is from a child that doesn't like to have Happy Birthday sung to her because she doesn't like the attention!"

Please contact [email protected], (860) 593-2484 with any questions or communications about your child's participation in our camps, and have a great summer :)
