Directing a band and creating introductions and endings are some of the most difficult skills for a vocalist to master. In this class, you’ll learn how to employ the common language used in jazz settings in a variety of intros and endings (vamps, turnarounds, and rubato techniques). Students will develop the skills necessary to direct and lead a band including finding and communicating tempos for ballads, Latin and swing songs. A pianist will accompany the group for the first part of the quarter and the class will be joined by a full band as the term progresses. Students will prepare several songs of varying styles in the class. Open to all levels.
Wednesdays, 4:45 – 6:15 pm 9/20 – 11/29 (10 weeks) no class 11/22 Laurie Antonioli • $450
