Jennifer Carpenter’s love for the recorder began while earning her Bachelor of Music in clarinet performance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her pursuit of early music studies brought her to study at the University of North Texas where she received a Master of Music degree in musicology with an emphasis in early music performance and is ABD (all but dissertation) for her PhD in the same field from UNT. 

As a recorder player, Jennifer performs regularly as a soloist and in ensembles and is a member of the early music ensembles Parish House Baroque and Byrd on a Wire. She enjoys teaching as much as performing. In addition to teaching private lessons, both in person and online, Jennifer has been on the faculty of early music workshops across the southwest and west. Her enthusiasm for working with amateur recorder players has led her to serve on the Board of Directors of the American Recorder Society where she recently finished her 8th and final year. Jennifer was the music director of the Dallas Recorder Society from 2009-2014 and is currently serving as a co-director for the Denver Recorder Society. Happily a resident of Colorado Springs, she enjoys being a part of the early music scene in Colorado.
