About Jenny
My mission is to help people discover their unique musical voices. As a composer, educator, and sought-after clinician, I bring a deep commitment to both creating and teaching music. I offer private lessons in piano, violin, viola, ukulele, and improvisation from my home studio, where I also accompany and coach chamber music. Additionally, I compose and arrange for string orchestras, sharing a passion for music-making across all levels and backgrounds.
Throughout my career, I’ve been privileged to see students find joy in music, with many pursuing successful careers. Whether guiding beginners or seasoned players, I delight in helping students understand how music works and how they can grow with dedicated effort.
Together with my sister, Rebecca Bogart, I developed the Ukulele for All pedagogy, published by Kjos, and co-authored the Amazon best-selling 21 Songs in 6 Days ukulele series, which has reached over 125,000 readers. I’m also a YouTube ukulele educator and a respected clinician at music educator conferences nationwide, including All-State Conferences in Illinois, Maryland, and Arizona.
Recently retired from leading a successful public school orchestra program in Skokie, IL, my teaching experience spans roles in elementary music and faculty positions at Lake Forest College, the College of Lake County, and the Music Institute of Chicago. I hold a Master of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Illinois, a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Washington, and a teaching certification from Trinity International University. These experiences fuel my dedication to helping students of all ages and abilities experience the joy and depth that music can bring to life.

Katie started piano with another teacher. She quit after three years. She was struggling to learn the bass clef. And to learn the classical pieces that everyone else was learning. She gave up!
After three lessons with Jenny, she can play three pieces. And she says,
Who knew that music could be so important? And so much fun!
