2nd Vocal Performance Workshop at LUCID Starts June 22nd
Calling All Singers!
Seattle vocalists Kelly Ash and Mikaela Romero present their second weekly Vocal Performance Workshop at LUCID Jazz Lounge. Aspiring and working singers of all levels, experience and styles are welcome to participate in this six-week workshop beginning June 22nd and meeting weekly every Tuesday through July 27th.
Each two-hour class will cover different exercises and objectives including: developing vocal technique, creating an unique sound and style, improvisation, writing songs, lyrical development and arranging with a live band. Students will receive personal attention and assignments with each instructor as well as ample time working and performing with professional musicians.
Participants are encouraged to bring in covers, jazz standards, original songs or the instructors will offer suggestions of songs perfect for each voice. The workshop series will culminate in a final performance at a jazz club for friends and family.
The first workshop, which just wrapped up, was a huge success, with 10 singers all performing in front of a live band at LUCID. Here are some quotes from participants:
“Great class!! A good balance of theory, exercises, playing with the band, and finally performing at the showcase!”
“I learned exactly what I need to know in order to sing with a band! I am very glad I took this class with Kelly and Mikaela, and met everyone that I did.”
“I like that Kelly and Mikaela encouraged everyone consistently, regardless of their level. Everybody progressed so much! Including me!”
Ash and Romero are Cornish College of the Arts graduates in Vocal Jazz Performance and Latin Music Performance and are known for their diverse vocal styles as professional performers and instructors.
Tuition is $300/person for the six-week course. Class size is limited. Registration ends Friday, June 18, 2010.
The Vocal Workshop will take place on Tuesdays, 6:00pm-8:00pm starting June 22th at LUCID Jazz Lounge, 5241 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105.
