Ms. Jennifer Seligman

Jennifer Seligman started studying Suzuki Violin at age four in the San Francisco Bay Area. Growing up, she participated in many Suzuki institutes and workshops, in addition to youth and university orchestras. She graduated Magna cum Laude from SUNY Binghamton with a Bachelor of Arts in Judaic studies and a minor in Music, where in addition to studying violin with the late Janet Brady, she studied voice and harpsichord. She has also studied violin with Judith Ingolfsson at the Lucy Moses School and the late Semyon Ronkin at the Mannes School of Music. Jennifer did her Suzuki violin teacher training at institutes held at Ithaca College and Stanford University, and has taught violin to students of various ages and backgrounds since 2003. She taught violin to groups of students at The Learning Center for Exceptional Children in Clifton, NJ in early 2009, and currently teaches private Suzuki lessons in her home studio in Fair Lawn, NJ.

Jennifer participates in chamber music groups and local orchestras, including the New Jersey Reading Orchestra in Glen Ridge, NJ, and the Society of Musical Arts in Maplewood, NJ, founded by the late Samuel Applebaum which offers free concerts to the public. Jennifer is also asked to perform for various organizations and events—in 2011 she played in a concert benefit put on by Ezer Mizion, a health organization based in Israel, in order to raise funds for bone marrow donation.
