Course Description:

Want to sing like Frank or Ella? This friendly and inclusive course will provide the basic skills needed for successful singing of jazz standards. We'll start by listening to recordings of great jazz singers and learning jazz standards by songwriters like George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin. There'll be group work on basic music theory and improvisation, performance technique, how to sing with a microphone, and opportunities for individual feedback on your singing style. When members feel ready to sing in front of an audience, an evening performance will be planned for friends and family to attend (and be amazed). Singers of all ages and abilities are welcome, but you must be keen on performing and be happy to sing solo.
