NEW! Small Jazz Singing Group course
A Journey of Discovery and Transformation for Singers
I have a question. When you think about Jazz what is the first thing that springs to mind? Please be as honest as you like (constructively of course!)
When I think about jazz, the first thing that springs to mind is a freedom of expression. Jazz embodies a sense of spontaneity, creative cohesion, and improvisation all rolled into one genre. It definitely breaks boundaries, pushes the limits (free-form jazz anyone?) and creates something entirely unique in the moment through improvisation. Whether it's a melodious saxophone top line, an intricate drum solo, or an interplay between musicians in a live performance, jazz represents a constant exploration of musical possibilities. It's also genre that welcomes diversity, encourages collaboration, and celebrates individuality.
At its core, jazz is more than just a genre of music; it's a rich and vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of African American history, culture, and of course, human stories. It evokes a kaleidoscope of feelings—from joy to melancholy, exuberance to introspection and so much more. Jazz feels like the heartbeat of the inner city, the exclusivity of night time, the isolated cry of the blues and there is definitely laughter to be found in the swing of things.
Discover Your Unique Voice.
In the heart of this rich musical landscape lies the art of jazz singing—a journey of self-discovery, expression, creative liberation and transformation. It's about finding your own unique voice and discovering a process of open-ness and honesty unfettered by conventions or constraints. Unlocking New Skills, Building Confidence
Our Small Jazz Singing Course (Stage 1) is your gateway to a world of endless possibilities. Designed by yours truly and delivered by guest tutor and professional jazz vocalist, Amber Kuti, this 4-week intimate and nurturing course is designed to guide participants on a journey of exploration and growth.
