Hi, my name is Jan Jenkins and I teach music lessons in Kelowna, BC!

Welcome to my website.  To find this website again type in the URL http://www.myc.com/Teacher/JJenkins. I am pleased to be part of a quality music education system with a group of outstanding piano teachers in the Okanagan. 

 I believe that children deserve the very best possible start in the development of any skill they learn, to help them reach their full potential.

All children should have a chance to experience ‘the happy habit of making music’!

Long after the toys of childhood are forgotten, the gift of music will remain.  Give your child the very best musical gift by registering them in the very best music education program available, Music for Young Children!  Our main focus is the keyboard, but MYC is so much more than just learning to play the piano!  Each piano lesson incorporates ear training, sight reading, singing, movement, rhythm instruments, composing, and much more!  Our children are ready to take their Conservatory Gr. 1 piano exam upon completion of their MYC experience!

I feel that every child is special and I love sharing in the musical life of my students and families.  I have 3 children of my own that are part of the MYC program and have learned to play the piano. They are being introduced to concepts I learned much later in my music career.  The enrichment of MYC is beyond compare and was the impetus for me to start teaching the MYC way.  To read what others have to say about MYC check out Testimonials

"Jan's MYC class is a perfect fit for our family.  She provides a fun, motivating, and
relaxed environment that makes learning music enjoyable for both the child
and parent."  - Marlene, Kelowna
