"Jen is a supportive and inspiring teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the Voicedance course and private lessons I did with her. She creates a safe space to nurture creativity and support growth. I continue to draw on skills learned not only in performance but also in everyday life." (Danna, Perth WA. Facebook Voicedance Singing and Music Workshops Review)
"Jen de Ness is an enthusiastic, encouraging and experienced tutor. She is also a very talented singer, songwriter and performer!!
She has helped me greatly in further developing myself as a vocalist and performer. I was given many wonderful exercises to warm-up my voice and body, and to extend my vocal abilities. I now use them every time I sing!
I was shown ways to move on stage whilst singing. This assisted me to free up the tension in my body and vocal cords, and allowed me to feel and express the music and lyrics as I sang.
Jen has helped my confidence grow as a performer and vocalist, and I can now better relate to the songs that I sing.
Thank you Jen for all your wise and encouraging words!! You are amazing (Rhiannon WAAPA Student Facebook Review )
