Jennifer Wilson

Jennifer began Highland dancing lessons at the age of four, started piano lessons at seven and was introduced to Scottish country dancing at eleven. Dancing became a way of life and very soon she began teaching Highland and Scottish country dancing to children's classes in Moray.

In 1959 Jennifer attended Summer School in St Andrews as a dancer for the first time.  A few years later Miss Milligan invited her to play and the rest, as they say, is history!

Jennifer is an exceptional pianist whose sparkling accompaniments raise spirits and inspire dancers.  With her sympathetic understanding of the class situation, teachers are delighted to work with her because they know the music will be superb and exactly what is required.  She is always willing to encourage new musicians and share her knowledge with them.

Jennifer is in great demand to play for festivals, day and weekend schools in the United Kingdom and beyond.  Her first overseas trip was to play for Le Chardon d'Ecosse group in Paris.  This was followed by many visits to Europe, to Africa, America and Japan.  More recently she has visited Australia and Canada.

Jennifer devotes much time and energy to promoting Scottish music and the aims of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society and her name is known to Scottish country dancers the world over.
