For singers who are interested in jazz improvisation but might not be sure how to begin, this workshop will cover some introductory approaches.
Personalising a song by modifying the melody and phrasing.
Developing listening skills and rhythmic / melodic ideas through improvisation games.
Techniques for hearing alternative pathways through the chord changes.
Scat singing.
Improvising over basic blues and jazz song forms.
Virna may have time at the end to work with 1 or 2 people in a mini masterclass infront of the group. If are interested, you should bring a lead sheet for a jazz standard in the key you want to sing it in.
