Music has been a significant part of Jacqui's life since a very young age, taking lessons and playing duets and two piano music as a child with her mother and grandmother. She participated in Music as much as possible in school and went to Portland Arts and Technology HIgh School for Music her senior year. Over the years, she studied the organ with well-known Organists such as Kevin Birch, Ray Cornils, and Christopher Pelonzi. She has taken piano lessons from a very young age and later studied with Baycka Voronietsky at the University of Maine, Christine Kissack of Piano Learning Center, and Laura Kargul who is the Director of Keyboard Studies at the University of Southern Maine. Jacqui believes that learning and accomplishment on instruments like the piano and organ are a life long journey, and so in addition to her teaching, she will always continue her professional development through conferences and lessons. Her 3 children also love music, playing the piano, and enjoy singing in the church Junior and Youth Choirs!
