About Us

Singing and writing songs at age 5, Jennifer knew music was her passion. She studied piano, sang in choir and created her own band with her sister at age 12. Jennifer wrote the music and lyrics to numerous songs and her band played in the Los Angeles area for over 10 years. During this time she was in college starring in musicals such a “Closer Than Ever” and “Camelot” and studying voice with many teachers. Jennifer and her sister had much success getting their songs into movies and singing back-up with many recording artists.

She met her husband, Michael in 1996 who was a Master teacher of the Seth Rigg’s Speech Level Singing Vocal Technique for over 10 years. Jennifer took one lesson and knew it was the technique she had been looking for her whole life. It felt so natural and healthy and it made such logical sense. Singing can be so elusive and finding concepts that actually make sense and that you can apply and count on was not something she had experienced in the past.

Michael urged Jennifer to become a teacher and for over two years, she trained diligently with Michael and Seth to become one of the highest level teachers certified in Speech Level Singing for over 10 years. Jennifer implemented the Songwriting program at the Speech Level Singing Camp at Mount St. Mary’s. She was the original Educational Director of Speech Level Singing International which was established in 2001.
