École de cornemuse et tambours de Montréal

Jenna a découvert la cornemuse en 2003, (sous la tutelle de Mr. Iain MacLeod dès les premiers jours de l’École de Cornemuse et Tambours de Montréal) et s’est jointe à l’équipe de l’école en tant qu’instructrice en 2006. En contraste avec sa formation de pianiste classique, le son unique de la cornemuse et l’aspect social de cette petite communauté de musiciens l’a séduite de puis les premiers jours.

Jenna holds a Master’s Degree in music composition from James Madison University (Virginia), and finds inspiration in pushing the boundaries of Scottish folk music. An eclectic musician, she is known online for her YouTube video “Highland Bagpipe Strike-up Tutorial”, and has performed with instruments ranging from pipe organ, to Afro-Brazilian percussion, to theorbo. She currently plays with the Glengarry Pipe Band and the Montréal Pipes & Drums, and has been a member of the Montréal RCMP Pipe Band and the Montréal 78th Fraser Highlanders. Between band and solo performances, she has played in parades, ceremonies, and competitions throughout Canada, the USA and Scotland.
