Hey everyone! Lesson 1 of the Intro to Jazz Singing & Vocal Improvisation mini-course is officially up! 🙌
We’re starting exactly where every great jazz singer starts: with your ears.This first lesson gives you a curated list of 10 absolutely essential jazz vocal recordings — Ella, Billie, Sarah, Frank, Chet… the whole gang — along with listening prompts to help you start hearing phrasing, swing, tone colour, and the little stylistic things that make jazz jazz.
If you’ve ever wanted to improvise, scat, or alter melodies with confidence, this is where the vocabulary begins.
Go have a listen, take some notes, and let me know which singer surprised you the most! 🎶
More lessons coming soon!
