Jacqueline has presented to schools and universities nationwide, each a bit different. Sometimes, in a Mark Twain’s America concert, she has taught grade school assemblies to dance the 1850’s gallop and how immigrants brought the songs in their heads, in addition to their "one suitcase." She has performed in a Civil War “Chautauqua day” at the Greensburg High School (IN). She has also enjoyed lengthier university residencies, where she has worked with music improvisation, history and theory, European and American history, Jane Austen, film, acting and career counseling classes. She has also enjoyed lengthier university residencies, such as Austin College (TX), Clemson University (SC), Isothermal Community College (NC), Otterbein University (OH), and Santa Clara University (CA), where she has worked with music improvisation, history and theory, European and American history, Jane Austen, film, acting and career counseling classes. She has even coached singers! 

In 2012, Jacqueline participated in a special project with 826 Boston a nonprofit youth writing, tutoring, and publishing organization located in Roxbury, MA. She was interviewed about being a concert pianist by a middle school student aspiring to perform. Jacqueline’s words, “A place for me in the world,” became the title for the 826 Boston Young Authors' Book Project, a published book celebrating the students’ work.

She has taught, hands-on, the art of playing and improvising dance music at camps and shorter workshops across the country. Participants have found themselves singing-while-dancing, clapping pulses and rhythms, playing improvisatory games, listening, and exploring a sense of “play” and risktaking in their play. Jacqueline also has enjoyed teaching group keyboard harmony (“Bored with Your Chords?”). 

With private students, Jacqueline explores their learning to play with confidence and passion. She encourages critical listening, along with light-hearted curiosity and deep compassion for their process. Other skills may include technique, ear training, harmony, pulse, posture, improvisation, arranging, phrasing and breath. Laughing is encouraged! Lessons are at Jacqueline’s Boston-area studio, or on Facetime or, when on the road, at students’ homes.
