Swing & Signature

Wednesdays, 6:00–8:30pm · May 20–July 15, 2025 · Manhattan Final performance · $850 · Limited to 10 singers
A focused, 10-week series for jazz singers who are ready to go deeper — into the groove, and into themselves.

Program Description
Swing feel is one of the most talked-about and least-taught aspects of jazz singing. Personal style is something every singer wants and few know how to develop intentionally. This series works on both, together, over nine Wednesday evening sessions in Manhattan — culminating in a live performance at a NYC jazz club.

What You'll Work On

  • Internalizing swing feel — time, groove, and rhythm as expressive tools
  • Phrasing, space, and the art of the jazz line
  • Lyric interpretation and personal storytelling
  • Repertoire development — choosing songs that fit your voice and your story
  • Identifying and developing your own artistic signature
  • Performance confidence and presence
  • Live performance preparation

Who this is for 
This series is open to singers at a range of experience levels — from those just finding their way into jazz to singers with years of experience looking to deepen their practice. If you can sing through a jazz standard and have a genuine interest in jazz singing, you belong in this room. What matters most is curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to do the work. This is not the place for complete beginners, but it is absolutely a place for singers who are new to jazz and ready to take it seriously.

Format 
Nine weekly Wednesday evening sessions (6:00–8:30pm) with piano accompaniment, plus a 10th session: a live performance at a NYC jazz club. Small group cohort — maximum 10 singers. Enrollment is for the full series.

Commitment 
Enrollment is for the full 10-week series. Missed sessions are not prorated or refunded. Makeup sessions are not available due to the group format.

Tuition & Billing 
$850, paid in full upon enrollment. Payment plans are available upon request — reach out before enrolling to discuss. No refunds after the first session, except in special circumstances.
