Jenny MacDonald
(Voice/Guitar/Piano)
Jenny MacDonald has been performing in front of audiences for over a decade. After many years of private study through the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum, she persued a passion for music theatre, performing in over a dozen musical productions from 2000-2005 including productions with Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre and New Glasgow's "Way-Off Broadway" Productions, and teaching music and drama camps with Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre, Antigonish County Recreation, and the Ivy School of Music (Bedford, NS). In 2004, Jenny studied voice under the direction of St. Francis Xavier University's vocal jazz instructor, Ryan Billington, and has since studied with jazz/classical vocalist Carol Godsman, and Halifax-based composer, vocalist, and pianist Erin Costello.
In 2008, Jenny made her songwriting debut and released her first full-length album, "Jenny Kissed Me" which plays regularly on many radio stations including CBC Radio One, and has been active as a songwriter and performer since.
In June, 2010, MacDonald graduated from the Nova Scotia Community College's Music Arts and Business program, receiving the "Highest Achievement" award for her program.
Jenny has held a position at the Ivy School of Music in Bedford, Nova Scotia as a voice and guitar instructor since March 2009.
"The best way to engage students is to teach them things that they enjoy. They quickly realize that the technical skills and theory that music education offers will help them to achieve their own personal goals with their instrument. You have to feed the fire of passion in order to inspire the desire to learn."
