5:00PM WORKSHOP: NATURAL REPHRASING WITH GRETA MATASSA (IN PERSON & VIRTUAL) LOCATION: STUDIO THEATER

Proper jazz etiquette directs that singers be true to the original melody as an act of respect for the tune and the composer. The real fun begins the second time through, when you get to sing it YOUR way! But … how does a singer compose onthe-fly without any knowledge of theory? You don’t need to READ music if you can HEAR it. In this workshop, we will remember and re-learn how to spontaneously create and sing melodies, as we did when we were children, using only our ears and our imagination. The ability to sing and listen — at the same time — allows us to easily write melodies with no need for theory or scales. Greta will share multiple levels of practice using simple tools and apps to help you hear, respond and write the music in the moment. Be ready to CLOSE the books and OPEN your ears!
