Notes: Voice Play! A Workshop for Vocalists! Sat. Aug. 3rd led by performer and educator Suzi Stern Have the opportunity to sing with a live jazz ensemble in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Study the “ins and outs” of vocal improvisation and have a spontaneous “musical conversation” with the band. This summer in Austin, TX Suzi Stern will be offering a one day intensive jazz workshop for aspiring jazz / pop vocalists called “Voice Play!” We will discuss crafting your tunes, discuss phrasing, dynamics, how to sing your material in a fresh new way every time you sing it, mic technique, responding to what the instrumental ensemble is doing so the vocalist is part of a complete musical conversation. We will discuss chord progressions and song form so you won’t get lost on stage! Performance jitters…let’s talk about ways to tackle those unproductive nerves while singing! There will be a professional pianist, bassist and drummer ready to accompany, lend support and offer productive feedback! Part A 10:30 A.M. to Noon: A cappella exercises designed to free up and find your creative voice with many wonderful adventurous fun (sometimes scary) exercises to help you really learn to “listen” and respond spontaneously and have a musical “conversation” with other voices. The only preparation for this part of the clinic is to be open & prepared to have a great time! (Please arrive no later than 10:15) You need no singing experience to enroll in Part A. All are welcome and encouraged to participate in this section of the day no matter what level or past experience. *Break for refreshments while the band sets up* Part B 12:30 P.M. to 3:30 P.M: (You must take part A to participate in Part B) Singing with a band We will apply what we have learned in part A of the clinic to sing with an ensemble. Each participant will need to bring photo copies (in triplicate for piano, bass and drums) of at least 2 songs that they have memorized and are ready to try with the band. Vocalists will be performing their material and having it supportively critiqued. This is not a recital but a clinic so mistakes, questions, stopping and starting again is all fine and very much welcomed! Part A: alone $50 (If you are enrolled in Part A only, you are welcome to stay and observe Part B) Part A & B together: $85 Directions to the SoCo Studio will be given to participants upon enrollment Jazz vocalist and educator Suzi Stern has released 8 C.D.s to date (Aardvark Records, Viewpoint Records, Bus Biscuit Records, Blue Corn Records) Stern has 40+ years of performance, teaching and recording experience as a jazz vocalist.
