Workshop: Experimenting With Vocal Style
In this workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into a few different styles by listening to jazz vocal recordings, analyzing what we hear, and developing the ability to be more intentional about how we interpret a song. This workshop is mainly listening and discussion with the objective that we find something new to try in our own practice.
