Jessica Chan

Jess has been teaching music for over 10 years. She completed her BMus (Hons) in 2010 from the New Zealand School of Music, majoring in Jazz Performance Voice. She studied classical piano, violin, voice and composition before incorporating contemporary music into her repertoire.

Jess’s introduction to early years teaching began when she taught music and movement for under-fives in New Zealand.

Jess is currently studying her Masters of Teaching in Early Childhood and Primary teaching at the University of Melbourne. Prior to returning to study, she managed the showroom of Melbourne based award-winning double bass luthier, Benedict Puglisi at Atelier Puglisi. This gave Jess a keen interest in both upper and lower stringed instruments, and a fascination with loving and learning music as children, adults, and very importantly, as families.
