Welcome
Hi, I’m Joanne Jolee and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m going to use this space to tell you a bit about myself, and I’m hoping we can become friends so that I can learn about you!!
First, I’m a Kiwi, born and raised in beautiful New Zealand, and now a proud U.S citizen.
Don’t miss a thing! Join me in my private Facebook group, Your Time to Play.
Music
I had an excellent education in piano literature, music theory and voice through renowned conservatories. I believe in the power of music to heal and empower and I have spent my life as a musical artist, performer, teacher, and composer.
You can see video clips from a recent performance here.
Business
My husband, Bill Jaffa, and I built a consulting firm, and have worked with many people on their real estate and investment property transactions, renovations, building projects and much more.
The World
We have traveled all over the world for business and pleasure, experienced different cultures, and made special friends.
Music For All
In 2014, we founded the Jolee-Jaffa Music Foundation, Inc. a 501(C)(3) charitable organization that provides a free music education to underprivileged children, and music therapy classes for seniors suffering from Alzheimer ’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and traumatic brain injury.
Internationally the charity provides ukuleles, music instruction and meals at lesson time to children in a remote Philippine village.
The Ocean
I love the sea!! I am a lifelong sailor and internationally licensed yacht helmsman.
It’s a joy to get out on the water to recharge, get new ideas and write new music.
Products
All the products I create are designed to deliver the power of music. Learn to play the piano with Your Time to Play and listen to clips from the Get Carried Away catalog for music that can revive and refresh.
Family
My most joyful and rewarding venture was raising five magnificent children – now my friends. Learn about our family band, CJA, ‘Arizona’s Best Pop Band.
