About

Hello! I am Jennifer Balfour. I'm a Clarinet & Saxophone Music Instructor and Instrument Repair Technician at Robert's Music in West Warwick, RI. I have been playing on and working with these instruments since grade school, competing in school competitions through high school and eventually studying at UMass Lowell majoring in Music Performance.

I was invited to intern at a local music store during my time at UMass Lowell and found that I had talent in teaching beginner Clarinet and Saxophone lessons to new players and supplementary lessons to children looking to further improve in band class. From here, in 1999, I began working for Axelrod Music located in Downtown Providence, RI where I learned the craft of repairing the instruments that I loved to teach and play on. I continued to teach privately to both children and young adults that were looking to improve in school and better prepare for their Solo Ensemble and All-State pieces. Axelrod Music closed in the late 2000’s and I have since moved on to Robert's Music where I continue teaching students and repairing instruments in West Warwick, RI.

During my time teaching I’ve had students go on to be very successful from auditioning and participating in RI All-State and scoring high at RI Solo Ensemble to adult students improving their already established skills and joining community bands and orchestras. Teaching is a very enjoyable experience and seeing my Students achieve their goals and succeed at learning new music and skills is my ultimate goal!

Jen Balfour is a very talented musician and we are lucky she is willing to share her talent with our daughter. Giovanna is now 14 and will soon be entering high school. She has been playing clarinet for four years. While her band teacher is good, Giovanna has flourished under Jens teaching and guidance. She made Allstate in 7th and 8th grade, earned a superior rating at RIC and recently played at Carnegie Hall. Jen keeps Giovanna on task and diligent about practicing. Jen has high expectations for her students, but is very supportive as well. We highly recommend her as a teacher.
