All singers’ are
invited to learn or receive coaching on jazz vocal performance techniques at the
Women in Jazz Singers’ Vocal Performance Workshop
-
The workshop will be
lead by Austin’s greatest jazz influences:
-
James Polk who
will discuss and demonstrate communicating with musicians. This important
technique teaches singers to take control of their stage by conducting the
format of a tune--the introduction, middle and ending--using verbal and
non-verbal clues musicians understand.
-
Suzi Stern, one of
Austin’s best female jazz vocalists and an outstanding vocal instructor,
will lead a session on Jazz Improvisation Techniques.
-
Pamela Hart,
another great vocalist, will lead a session Performance Techniques,
including stage presence, microphone technique, overcoming stage fright, and
audience rapport. In addition, Ms. Hart will lead a discussion on Preparing
for the Music Industry.
-
All participants
will have an opportunity to sing with three great jazz musicians, James Polk
on piano, Michael Stephens on bass, and Dexter Walker on drums. “Most of what will
be taught in this workshop is not taught in school,” says Pamela Hart. In the
great jazz era, singers learned these techniques on the road.
This workshop will
provide a rare opportunity vocalists of all ages should not pass up.
-
The workshop fee is
only $35.00 and includes materials and lunch.
