About Jennifer

As a performer, my main instrument is Double Bass, but I regularly play French Horn and Viola too. I also teach Double Bass and Cello

Double Bassist

Huddersfield

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I mainly do orchestral playing but also love playing in shows/operas and choral society concerts when the opportunities arise. I can double on bass guitar and tuba for situations where a combination is asked for. I have played with various professional orchestras since studying performance at Huddersfield University and RNCM. As a teacher, I offer home lessons on Double Bass and Cello in West Yorkshire, Sheffield and Manchester plus zoom lessons further afield.
