Develop your artistic voice by working directly with a professional jazz trio and exploring the essentials of jazz singing in one of the music’s most classic settings. Led by Amanda Addleman and her trio, this workshop offers personalized instruction in bandleading, interpretation of jazz standards, count-offs and endings, spontaneous arranging, improvisation, stage presence, and communication with the band.
Each participant will prepare a jazz standard to perform with the trio and will receive individualized feedback from Amanda and the accompanying musicians on musical interpretation, ensemble interaction, and performance approach. Participants should bring three copies of a lead sheet in their key and have a general tempo in mind. All levels are welcome — this workshop is designed as a supportive and engaging environment for exploring the tradition of jazz singing.
