ALL ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Jessica! I am a violinist, vocalist, and music educator living in Covington, Kentucky. I began studying violin at the age of 10 in my hometown, Lexington, Kentucky. What began as an extra-curricular activity soon became my passion and I went on to study music in college. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music (Vocal Performance) from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky in 2004 and have been writing, playing, and teaching in the Greater Cincinnati area ever since! I was trained classically but I enjoy playing and singing in many styles. I have performed in many different settings over the years - orchestral ensembles, musicals, memorial services, weddings, retirement homes, and parties.

​

I began playing for weddings in 2005 and formed an LLC in 2022 - A Perfect Match Music. I frequently perform at weddings and events in the Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. I have 20 years of experience in helping couples select the perfect music and creating the sound they truly want for their special day. Whether it is the elegance of solo violin, soaring soprano vocals over piano, unique, contemporary vibes with violin and acoustic guitar, or pop and rock favorites your guests will want to sing along to, I absolutely love creating the perfect soundtrack for my clients!​

​

Performing was my main focus for many years, but my desire to give back and share my passion with others in a new way grew stronger. In 2018, I decided to grow my career as a private music instructor. I now have a home studio in Covington, KY. It is an absolute honor to share the gift of music making with others. Some of my fondest childhood memories were from orchestra class and violin lessons. Now it thrills me to be in the teaching role and watch my students grow and light up as they express themselves through music!

​

I also teach general music for PreK - 8th grade at a private parochial school in Northern Kentucky. I create fun and engaging lessons and music resources. I focus on social emotional learning with music education and believe that the music classroom should be a safe space where children can learn through movement, personal expression, and memorable experiences. You can learn more about what I do in the classroom and check out my resources on my Instagram, forteandfuchsia, and my Teachers Pay Teachers store, Forte and Fuchsia!
