Jenni Asher

I spent 8 years in London travelling and studying after growing up in sunny Southern California. My bachelors is in Violin Performance from the Royal Academy of Music and my masters is in Leadership from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I moved back to LA in March of 2014, married the boy next door, got a dog, and a bunch of amazing students. I'm also a session musician, and a massage therapist for musicians (www.musicianbodywork.com).

Spanning a combination of the Suzuki method, Kodai, and eurythmics (Dalcroze), I like training my violin students to be well rounded musicians. Lessons are a mix of many things, from polyrhythmic clapping games to Beethoven to improvisation.

In addition to playing violin, I also sing jazz, play the erhu, and compose music via free improvisation ensembles.

My album "London" came out just before I moved and can be downloaded on iTunes (itunes.com/jenniasher), and some of my more experimental (read: random and unfinished) work can be heard on soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/jennithompson). If you'd like to chat, please introduce yourself.
