All the best jazz singers are master musicians and storytellers. This class will focus on developing our skills as singers, artists and song interpreters. Topics include choosing the right song; using various grooves, tempos and arrangements; learning and memorizing the melody and lyrics; phrasing; improvisation skills; communicating with an accompanist; and stage presence. In this supportive and challenging environment, students work on these skills and create arrangements for songs, culminating in an end-of-quarter performance. Weeks 2 and 3 include a professional accompanist, while the last two classes and performance include a full trio. For intermediate to advanced singers. Prerequisites: consent of instructor — telephone consultation required, 510.845.5373.
