 Hi! I'm Jeannette. I have been singing, teaching music and performing in many different genres and capacities for over 35 years.  My musical history includes: vocally and musically directing, playing piano for and performing in musical theater and operetta productions throughout the Bay Area; performing as a keyboardist and singer/songwriter with a 1980’s all-originals rock band (in the 1980's); singing with opera choruses for companies such as Livermore Valley Opera, Rogue Valley Opera and Opera San Jose; teaching chorus and music theory at the middle and high school levels (Nueva, The Athenian School and Crystal Springs Uplands School); acting as Choral Director and resident voice teacher with the San Francisco Girls Chorus and teaching private voice lessons since 1988. I am currently the bass guitarist / back-up vocals for a brand new, all-female 60's/70's/80's rock cover band called GRRLZ TALK.
