Workshop at International College of Music (ICOM), Kuala Lumpur [photo credit: Yin Yin Boey]
For ages 11-19, this 3-day holiday programme introduces young guitarists and vocalists to Jazz. Even if you’ve never played Jazz, you can learn the scales, rhythms and other things that make the music!
When you take the class with me, you will:
- have fun singing and playing melodies that teach you how to sound “Jazz”,
- learn cool Jazz Chords with funky names
- learn how to start soloing (step by step!)
- get to perform together in a Final Performance to play the songs we learned
Watch and listen to Jazz from different eras, and learn how to recognize their jazz tricks and patterns which you can easily use too and sound instantly cool!
You’ll know know how to be hip and start talking like a Jazz Cat!
