Jenny B Peters Music
Creativity for AllAre you looking for an inspirational orchestra experience for your students?
How about a composer and conductor who will help them to sound good? And who will engage them with original music?
So your students are tired. And they are disengaged. They want connection and they want to play. Yet, they’re not as resilient as they were before the Pandemic. You’re still building back your programs. So you want music where the students have success right away. And your students want music that was created for people like them.
Jenny worked in Title I schools as a music educator for 25 years. She built a successful orchestra program that reflected the demographics of the school. And she inspired students to work with her to create beautiful music!
I’m enjoying listening to your compositions! Your music sounds great and is clearly accessible for student ensembles.
So, What do you do?
Bring Jenny in to work with your students. She knows how to reach today’s students. And how to compose music they will love.
Today’s students crave socialization and emotional connection. They love music, yet they’re not always able to concentrate and put in the work. They want instant success. Yet, they also need a challenge and the chance to grow by being diligent. They need something where they can develop grit and resiliency. Then, they value their success.
Jenny knows how to make your orchestra sound good. And how to give melody parts to violas, cellos and basses. These sections are often under-represented melodists in the orchestra. She writes music that teaches new skills, yet is delightful to play.
Your pieces are delightful!

My students need a lot of TLC
Don’t worry, Jenny works well with students like that. Her students needed that too. And she was able to get them to work together as a team to create awesome music.
My students give up easily
Jenny is familiar with that too. Jenny can inspire your students to do the work they need to sound great!
My students talk a lot and don’t listen
Jenny is familiar with that too. You’ll get the music ahead of time so the students can learn it. The students will have access to videos so they can hear how it goes. Then they will be ready to put the polishing touches onto the pieces to play them even more beautifully.
And they get to meet a living and breathing composer. For students, that is inspiring. And it can encourage students to compose their own music later. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Meeting a Living Composer is a plus
You know your students play better if they have a chance to hear how the music goes first. All the pieces are available on YouTube so you can decide if the music will fit your group. There are scores to follow that let you know the instrumentation and difficulty of the parts. From there, you can decide if this music is something that will be good for your orchestra.
Teach them the music. And then have Jenny out to lead a clinic and conduct. It will bring your orchestra to the next level.
Your students will love playing music that is made for them.
The music is kid-tested and enjoyable. It’s fairly easy to play. Students will love meeting the composer and playing their music. They will be inspired to do their best. And to develop their own creativity by composing later.
