A rare opportunity for singers of all levels to explore and develop their vocal abilities under the guidance of top-class International Jazz vocalist Brigitte Beraha, one of the leading performers and educators in the field today.
ABOUT BRIGITTE: Embracing a wide variety of music influences and genres, from jazz and latin to classical and, more recently, electronic, Beraha’s sound is free and fluid with an emphasis on exploration and expression. Fearlessly testing the limits of the voice as instrument, her sound is distinguished by the unexpected, with free improvisation and evocative wordless singing at its core. In her role as ‘Professor Of Jazz Voice’ she currently teaches jazz vocals at the ‘Guildhall School of Music & Drama’, ‘Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance’ and the ‘Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama’.
THE WORKSHOP: In this Introduction to Jazz Singing Brigitte will touch on everything from basic breathing and vocal techniques to glimpses into the Jazz repertoire, possibilities of its interpretation and finding ultimate freedom in improvisation. Wherever your musical preferences may lie, you will find a relaxed and nurturing environment and plenty of encouragement to explore your voice through both group and individual singing.
Brigitte Beraha
Playing original melodic contemporary jazz with world and Latin flavours, the Brigitte Beraha Group is an imaginative vocal-led modern jazz ensemble who sidestep obvious standards to tackle lyrical material. The Ensemble, fronted by a vocalist singing songs with lyrics, also becomes an instrumental group when the voice is used as an instrument, allowing to blend in with the trumpet and fluegelhorn so as to create a unique soundscape. As well as performing and recording with numerous high profile UK artists, including Kenny Wheeler, Chris Laurence, Paul Clarvis, John Parricelli and Henry Lowther she is also closely involved in the work of the new generation of jazz musicians, in particular the Loop and E17 jazz collectives.
