| Jeanne Bradley Jeanne has been playing the piano since the age of 4. She was trained in a classical style and performed in many recitals, led the chorus throughout school, and was able to expound on that experience when she attended the School for the Gifted. Taking a break for a few years after she had her children, she returned to piano and extended to the keyboards to allow her to play more easily with others in performance settings. Her musical interest has expanded from classical to blues, jazz, and world music. Jeanne includes light percussion on frame drum, djembe, and shakers, and is now studying violin. Jeanne is an Art Doll Sculptor, Painter, and Web Designer through Conscious Art Studios. |
