      Jennifer Ridout is an accomplished flutist and pianist and has spent the past decade performing and teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area and Houston. Jennifer received her B.M. in flute performance from San Jose State University under the tutelage of Catherine Payne (San Francisco Symphony), and her M.M. in flute performance from the University of Houston studying with Aralee Dorough (Houston Symphony). While at San Jose State, Jennifer acted as principal chair flute in the school's top ranking Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra, and her senior recital was acclaimed by SJSU faculty as having been one of the "best student recitals ever held at the school." During her time at the University of Houston she acted as principal flute and solo piccolo with the Symphony Orchestra and performed with them at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Jennifer has received instruction from and performed in master classes in the United States and Europe from a number of today's top flutists including Catherine Payne, Keith Underwood, Jim Walker, Christina Jennings, Leone Buyse, Robert Stallman, Carol Wincenc, Timothy Day, Sergio Pallotelli, Sooyun Kim, Ian Clarke, and Aralee Dorough.

      Jennifer has an undeniable passion for musical expression as well as music theory and enjoys passing this along to her students. She helps offer them tools and the direction needed so that they too may discover how they want to express themselves through music. Her students show improvement very quickly and are active participants in recitals, school band programs, youth orchestras, master classes and competitions. Lessons with Jennifer are tailored to each student’s unique musical goals, as every student has different interests.
