Over the past 8 years Jemma has been teaching vocal technique, repertoire and audition preparation to students young, old and everywhere in between. Her students have been accepted into school music programs, tertiary musical theatre courses, Class of Cabaret, and various musicals and performances. Most importantly, they have gained confidence in their voices, stage presence, and have smashed their personal goals!
