Jazz For Singing Teachers: What You Need to Know (Online Workshop)

(EDT, UTC-04) (EDT, UTC-04)

California Jazz Conservatory, 2087 Addison St., Berkeley, CA

Note: Time shown here is ET!

You’re a solidly trained singer and successful voice teacher. One day your best baritone comes to their lesson and says they’ve started singing with a jazz band and need your guidance. Or your department head assigns you to coach the cast of a jazz musical. Or maybe, as much as you love art songs or musical theatre, you’re jazz-curious and enjoy the occasional turn at the microphone yourself. In this online workshop, designed for singing teachers and experienced singers in genres other than jazz, seasoned jazz vocalist and voice teacher Andrea Wolper will present the foundational elements of jazz and jazz singing, such as esthetic values of the genre, stylistic parameters, and necessary skills. You’ll leave the workshop with a better understanding of the genre and practice of singing jazz, an awareness of functional considerations, and resources for further exploration. Feel free to bring specific questions and a link to one of your favorite jazz performance videos.
