Jenny Maybee studied classical piano for 20 years. She studied jazz & composition since 1989 with teachers Doug Davis, David Arnay, Julie Kelly and Michelle Weir, plus a workshop intensive with percussionist and composer William Kraft. Jenny also taught piano for 10 years and voice for three years.

Young Artist
Jenny began playing piano at the age of four and soon was composing and singing her own songs. In school, she played flute, cello and percussion. She loved to improvise, so her classical piano teacher, Liz Cervantes, suggested she also study jazz with Doug Davis. Jenny continued classical piano during high school and college with Yvonne Endicott.

At age 16, Jenny began teaching private piano lessons. She played her first professional gigs while in high school after she and her classmates convinced their school to start a jazz ensemble. Outside of school, they put together a big band and armed with Jenny's grandfather's charts began playing swing around town. Jenny was also a member of an improvisational theater troupe for which she wrote and performed all the music.
