Vocal Technique for the Jazz Singer
JOIN OUR WAITING LIST!
We often look at masters like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan in complete awe - their command of their instrument, fluid scat and depth of emotional phrasing are breathtaking. The sound of their voices is unmistakable and oozes jazz. We tend to forgot that it took them years of practicing their technique and musicianship that made them the greats that they were.
Technique is easy to learn, if you know what steps to follow. If you're willing to do the work I can show you what they are. I don't want you to spend years looking. That is why I have created this brand new 4-week course, which I am now running for the first time.
Here's what my students have achieved following my singing method:
Because this is my first offering of this course (€497,- value), it will be free of charge for selected participants. I only ask that participants give me feedback on the lessons in return. This will benefit you too and help me to further improve the course week by week as we go through this shared learning experience.
Hi, I'm Heidi.
I am deeply passionate about jazz and helping you find your way to sing it with freedom and having fun doing it!
Vocal technique is so rarely talked about and properly taught in jazz. I wanted to create a method that empowers jazz singers to express whatever is in their heart and minds with freedom and ease.
Poor technique was one of my biggest limitations for a long time – and I started taking lessons when I was 11 years old, went on to get two Master Degrees in Jazz Performance and have successfully performed and recorded on three continents… You would think at some point someone would have introduced me to good singing technique – and believe me I have searched high and low for it!
It took me years to finally find teachers that helped me expand my range, hit notes with any volume I like, become more vocally agile and flexible, so I can also sing fast complicated lines easily and most importantly express all my feelings and music with my voice with ease and no pain. Yes, singing for a long time was a painful experience for me. Add singing six nights a week at a club and talking to the audience during breaks – it’s the perfect recipe for vocal damage.
Fortunately, it didn’t get to that. My over 25 years of performing, teaching and voice training helped me developed my own singing method which I now teach to my students. It gives you very fast results and at the same time ensures vocal health. As much as I like the freedom it has brought to my own singing, I love seeing what it does for my students – making them smart, competent jazz singers who know how to use their voices to get across what they want to express effortlessly.
Join me in this FREE 4-week course and get to know my technique that has helped hundreds of students find their jazz voice and vocal freedom.
This course is ideal for singers of all levels who want to find vocal freedom in their jazz singing, so they can fully be in the moment when singing and improvising on or off the stage.
This is equally applicable for singers just starting out as well as experienced pros and voice teachers who are trained in another style or technique (classical/musical theater/pop/rock/blues/RnB) and now want to find their authentic jazz sound.
You only must be able to match pitch and sing a song without the help of any accompaniment.
Is this course for free?
Yes, this course is free. No credit card needed. No hidden fees. It is the beta-version of my new technique program which you get free access to in return for giving me weekly feedback. You will profit from this as well, as this will help me to improve the lessons every week and ensure you get the most out of this course.
Where does the course take place?
The course takes place online. Lessons will be hosted on my course platform. Our international community of enthusiastic jazz singers will meet in my Facebook group where you can support each other and ask questions. All Q&A calls and video reviews will take place in the Facebook group as well.
Do I have to attend live?
All lessons and calls will be recorded, so you can watch them at your own pace whichever time zone you are in. You can submit your questions and videos for the Q&A calls and video reviews in advance but I recommend to attend live whenever you can. (Call times will be announced once we get closer to the starting the course.)
How long do I have access to the course materials?
Since this is a free course, access to the materials and group will be removed on September 5th.
Will you give this course again at another time?
Short answer – no. This course won’t be available for free again. I am not planning on offer this course on its own again but only as part of my other programs.
Do I need any special tech equipment?
All you need is a stable internet connection and a PC/laptop/iPad. It can be helpful to also have your smart phone at hand to record videos of yourself. No special microphones are necessary.
Until when can I register?
You can sign up until August 9th, 2021.
