Jennifer Case
Co-Founder and Managing Director
With over 25 years of teaching in public and private schools, at the college and university level, and in her own studio, Jennifer brings a wealth of experience to Case School of Music.
As Managing Director, Jennifer's job is to drive the school! She develops social media marketing and advertising fliers, advises on curriculum development, oversees the school's technology and management of all internet based information, and handles the day to day finances of the business. Her job is to further the development and expansion of CSOM, working with teachers and helping turn their ideas into reality.
Having grown up in the Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Jennifer brings a wealth of first hand musical knowledge of old-time and folk music styles. She specializes in these musical genres with the adult learner in mind. If you've always wanted to play banjo, mandolin, or folk guitar, Jennifer is the teacher to help you learn!
Jennifer has taught guitar and bass guitar for over 25 years and is the only teacher in the area over the past decade to have repeatedly placed, year after year, guitar and bass students in All State Jazz Band. Her students have participated in their school jazz band programs, All City Jazz Band, Jazz Fest, and several have won college scholarships. Jennifer takes a very limited number of students.
As a writer and music arranger, Jennifer has written articles for Guitar Teacher Magazine and Percussive Notes. Jennifer has numerous classical guitar and finger-style guitar collections, as well as string trio collections, brass trio collections, and piano pieces that she sells every day all over the world through SheetMusicPlus.com and Amazon.com. Jennifer works on multiple arranging and publishing projects regularly with SMP Press (Hal Leonard) and Mel Bay Publications.
A former member of the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command Band, Jennifer attended North Carolina School of the Arts and graduated from Western Carolina University with a B.S. Ed. in Music in 1986. She has taught music in both public and private schools (K-12) and served as the guitar instructor at both the University of Sioux Falls and Dordt College for a number of years.
She has performed as rhythm guitarist and musical director for the locally popular jazz groups the Blue Twilight Jazz Quartet, the West Coast Jazz Trio, and the Dakota Case Jazz Trio. These groups have been featured several times on the Old Courthouse Museum concert series, Jazz at Fawick Park, and the Sioux Falls Downtown Jazz Crawl. For fun, she plays drumset, percussion, banjo, and mandolin with the local alternative country/folk group The Jagged Annies.
Jennifer is married to Chuck and they have one son and a daughter-in-law, and one dog.
