Notes from your Trainer

In this relaxed, informal day-long vocal workshop at London's iconic 606 Club you will learn how to make a jazz standard your own while exploring vocal craft, style and stagecraft in a supportive setting. Expert coaching and feedback will be offered by award-winning jazz singer Claire Martin OBE and Estill Master Trainer Stefan Holmström. 

The day starts with a trip to The Voice Gym where we will use Estill Voice Training to warm up the voice before we explore different vocal colours and ways to play with structure and form in jazz standards. 
​
Ten active participants will have the opportunity to perform a selected song on stage accompanied by Rob Barron, one of the most in-demand jazz pianists on the UK jazz scene. Rob has played with Al Jareau, Marlena Shaw, Jacqui Dankworth, Stacey Kent, Claire Martin and more and regularly appears with the BBC Big Band and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra.​​​

As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner from the workshop, we encourage active participants to pick jazz standards on the theme of LOVE. Bring us your falling in love, your passion and your most painful heart aches!
