Jazz Singing By Ear

I know firsthand how intimidating and overwhelming singing jazz can be. There seem to be so many unwritten rules to follow that it feels impossible to know which notes to sing. You feel stuck and can’t figure out how to find the freedom and confidence to make a song your own, let alone improvise.

Instrumentalists are full of good advice, talking about scales and music theory. Unfortunately, that means very little to you, and you find it intimidating and overwhelming and are starting to doubt you can ever learn to sing jazz properly. You feel there is so much music and emotion inside you, but somehow you get lost when you let go, trying to express it.

You really want to improve, but you don’t know which steps to take as a singer to find the confidence and freedom you see others perform jazz on stage.

Feel free and confident when singing and improvising jazz
Have clarity on how to learn a jazz standard and practice improvisation
Know how to swing and find notes that work
Know which songs suit you and how to find your keys on your own
Have your first jazz standard ready to sing at the next jam session
Sound like you when singing jazz and not like a copy of someone else
Know how to easily connect with your band and audience
Be ready and confident to go out and perform more
Having fun singing jazz on stage without feeling overwhelmed

You find jazz intimidating and don’t know what notes to sing
You want to find your own style when singing jazz and not sound like a copy of someone else
You lack confidence and feel overwhelmed when changing up a melody
You are not sure which notes are right when improvising
You usually sing pop/musical theater/classical and finally want to sound like a true jazz singer when singing standards
You are getting lost in the songs, the moment you try changing them up or scat and improvise
You are not sure what songs are right for you and which key to pick

Don't just take my word for it...

“How knowledgeable you are, Heidi! It gave me the confidence to approach a musical career as a professional. In a way, you've made me more of a professional through this process.

I have something to teach because I've been taught so well. I can perform with more confidence, in my style because jazz is open to my interpretation with the foundation you've laid out in this course.

This is a thorough course on learning jazz by ear that will leave you equipped to perform a jazz standard as interpreted by yourself!

You'll understand the layout of the music and be able to talk about it with instrumentalists you work with. Free scatting will be easier with this knowledge. You'll easily learn some music theory even without lessons dedicated to theory. There's a lot of resources you'll use & learn about that will help you whether you're practicing alone or with a band."

-- Cecile Kabura

“I love how Heidi communicates. She is clear and gives very good advice and good demonstrations. Thank you, Heidi, you're an amazing teacher"

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!

In this 10-week online training, I will teach you how to learn a jazz tune in an easy and practical way. You can apply this simple and tried process to any other tune and guarantee that you will sound authentic and true to yourself and the style.

In just a few weeks you will feel confident and free to sing your jazz tune with other musicians and safe to even improvise! All you need are your ears and a love for jazz singing. In jazz, we learn by doing - so be ready to take action!

For best results, be committed to invest about 25 min. a day into your craft. This time will consist of listening to music, practicing singing, training your ears and following the exercises laid out in the course. By the end you will have your first jazz standard and scat solo ready to sing at the next jam session.

This course is ideal for singers of all levels who want to learn a bulletproof way to feel self-assured and at ease in their jazz singing – on or off the stage. No prior musical training is necessary. You only need to be able to match pitch and sing a song without accompaniment.

These 10 weeks are more practical, easy and fun than my experience of 4 semesters in conservatory.

I have to say this course is priceless.

Since it was action drive course, a lot of inspirations gonna be posted in the Facebook group and you can get all the feedbacks, answers you want from Heidi and your accountability buddy.

Speaking of buddy, you can be friends with various genres, all levels of singers from all over the world. Not only that, you will find out how to sing jazz by just being yourself not just mimicking somebody else.

This is the course for every singer.

— Jekyll Joe

"The course was very well-structured and put together. Easy to understand and very confirming. It also taught me a lot of knowledge about jazz and where it came from. This course is a good and practical way to try out new things with your voice. Also, if you just want to know some more about jazz in general or how to approach to a tune...it is a great way to do so. Thank you for your commitment, Heidi. I had a lot of fun taking the course."

- Ina Rebhandl

"For Jazz aficionados and novices alike, I think it's a great way to know more and love more about jazz singing. The lessons are compact and full of practical tips and jazz knowledge. The best thing about the course was The deeper appreciation and understanding of Jazz and how to perform it."

- Odessa Patron

"This course is great because you can do the lessons in your own tempo and at home. Heidi is really experienced and knows what she's talking about. Even if it is an online seminar, you can always ask questions and even if I did not ask one, I read some questions and answers on Facebook and found them really helpful for me too.
Another pro for me was to "meet" so many singers from all over the world. To have the knowledge from a big group in one place is definitely a big plus!"

- Beate Schmidt

"This is a wonderful course to take because Heidi really breaks things down into edible bites for us to try. Take notes. I can re-listen to things Heidi spoke to. There is a lot of information receive."

- Dana Reedy

"If you are interested in jazz and how to approach a song in order to sing it and to improvise on it, you should try out this online course.
