Hello! How are you? Come look and listen!

Hello! Welcome to my website!

Hello, my name is Jena. I live in Southend-on-Sea which is a sea-side town in Essex on the South East coast of England, situated about an hour away from London. I am a pianist and violinist who enjoys both performing a teaching, as well as being a qualified solicitor and partner in the firm of Lindops. I have a dual career in law and music having graduated from Oxford University (St Peter's College) in 1999. Much of my time is dedicated to the art of piano and violin playing after having piano lessons with Lora Dimitrova, Chris Elton, Shalinee Jayatilaka and Elsie Brown; and violin lessons with Lydia Mordkovitch, Ruth Waterman, Keith Pascoe and Brenda Farrow. During my studies I also had chambermusic masterclasses with the Allegri String Quartet (Oxford University), the American violist Nancy Uscher (in Hong Kong), and Baroque 'period playing' masterclasses with Gary Cooper (Oxford University). A number of my students regularly perform and compete in both national competitions and local music festivals.

My website contains many pages about myself, my interests, music, teaching and teddybears.

The photo is of me a long time ago doing what I love the most - playing music!

If you are interested in having piano or violin lessons, chamber music please see page 3 for my terms of business and page 4 to learn more about my students; or if you are interested in participating/ performing in a Masterclass/ lecture by various concert pianists, violinists or chamber music groups then please contact me by e-mail.

For those arctophiles out there, my teddybear collection page is 5 pages now with the latest additions to the collection. Please have a look at pages 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d and 6e!

I have added two memorial pages: A page specifically dedicated to the memory of my uncle Hong Kong movie star Alexander 'Fu Sheng' (also known as 'Fu Sing' in cantonese), who tragically died in 1983 (page 7); A page dedicated to the memory of Cambridge Luthier David J Rubio who was very special to me (page 8)

I write and regularly update my musical diaries of my piano and violin playing with my thoughts on the music (pages 14 and 15). Please have a read. If you are playing the same music or want to know more information on the music I am playing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

There is new page on my record collection and concerts that I have attended with my thoughts on the artists of old and new (page 16).

Page 17 contains some live recordings of my concerts when I was a schoolboy - have a listen! I apologise for the sound quality of some of the recordings, these were recorded at live concerts on cassette tape many years ago.

Please click on the page you want to see in the Site Navigator frame to view this website.

I hope that you enjoy the background music. It is a recording of me performing Chopin's Nocturne in C minor op 48/1 at a concert a few years ago. Some of the pages have background music which are all old recordings from live concerts of when I was at school (a long time ago!). I wll update soon with new recordings.

If you would like to find out more about what kind of law I practise, please click here to visit the website of the law firm where I work

I hope that you enjoyed your stay, this website is updated regularly, so please come back again!

This Website is best viewed with a large wide screen monitor and each page separately. Do not open too many windows at once or the background music will duplicate
