Vocal Workshop with visiting artist Jazz vocalist/songwriter/teacher Rosana Eckert
“Rosana can do anything. She is that beautiful combination of real musician and superb vocalist, with completely equal amounts of both.” – Peter Eldridge, New York Voices
Singing with Expression!
Methods for authentic and adventurous song interpretation
How do jazz vocalists make their mark in today’s music world? How do they give their listeners a captivating and memorable musical experience that is sincere and unpredictable? The most successful and lauded jazz singers today have each developed their own point of view, both in the way they set their songs musically/stylistically and in how they interpret and phrase the song lyrically.
In this hands-on workshop, renowned vocalist, arranger, and jazz educator Rosana Eckert will take singers through her step-by-step approach to delivering a lyric with an adventurous and spontaneous spirit, a sincere point of view, and stylistic authenticity through a variety of grooves.
Concepts covered will include:
Phrasing and rhythmic/groove adventure
Expression through tone and technique
Melodic alteration and improvisation
Style exploration
These concepts come from Rosana’s book, Singing with Expression: A Guide to Authentic and Adventurous Song Interpretation, published in 2018 by Hal Leonard.
“…fresh and sophisticated. Ms. Eckert effortlessly swings with her well-shaped alto and intelligent ear for lyrics.” --AllAboutJazz.Com
“Rosana Eckert is a joy… showing that she is one of the best scat singers around yet also digging deep into the lyrics…” – Scott Yanow, Jazz historian and journalist
