Jazz Workshop with Grammy-Winner!

We have room for just a few more participants in Grammy-winner Laurel Massé's upcoming two-day workshop.  Call to secure your spot today! (There are also several spots for auditors, if you don't care to participate.  Make sure to sign up in advance for those, as well!)

All great songs share a common thread: a strong lyric. Lyrics call us to war or invite us to bed, celebrate love or mourn its loss. The best ones remind the listener of the shared human experience within the personal experience, and it is the singer's job to make the connections palpable. Join Laurel Massé (right), founding member of Manhattan Transfer, in an exploration of this often-neglected aspect of jazz singing, and discover how to improvise within the framework of the song.

SF Welcomes New Technique Teacher

Fall is a season of change, and Singers Forum is not immune! Linda Burton, one of our beloved voice technique teachers has chosen not to return to teaching this fall, so she can focus on her own singing career. We wish Linda all the best! We'll really miss her.

But, as one door closes, another opens, and a new door has opened in the person of Bradley Dean (left), our new voice technique teacher who started last week.

Bradley is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and has had an active career in the theater, including a role in the recent Tony Award-winning revival of Company. Bradley has appeared on stage in New York, across the country and internationally. Looking to stay in one place for a while, he has joined our faculty to teach private voice technique lessons.

If you're interested in studying with Bradley, we suggest you sign up for a consultation or simply leave your name and number at the front desk, and we'll get the ball rolling for you.

Patter, Poise, Passion & Panache Session 2

What do you say between the songs?  Sounds like a silly question, but everyone needs help with patter.  And Mary Cleere Haran (right) is an expert!  With a resume that includes performing at The Oak Room and Feinstein's and writing for PBS and The New York Times, Mary Cleere has a little experience with what to say about, around, and incidental to a song.

Session 2 of her Singers Forum class, Patter, Poise, Passion & Panache, starts on 10/30, at only $350 for 7 classes.  Call or stop by the front desk to sign up!

It's All in the Technique...

Singers Forum offers Voice Technique four days a week: Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  There are currently spots available in each class.  Due to the small class size, each student gets a chance to work on performance in every class! 

Our vocal technique courses provide you with everything you need to know to learn how to sing and achieve your singing goals, all in an exciting and supportive environment. At Singers Forum we teach the Bel Canto method, which allows the singer to sing in any style with a resonant, beautiful sound that is natural and unique to the individual.

Join us today!  When signing up after the beginning of the semester, you only pay for the remaining classes!

*All students are responsible for a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $15 per semester.

Music Writers Workshop 10/16-12/11
Are you a music writer developing new works? Non-profit artist service organization The Field will be holding a Music Fieldwork Workshop on Tuesday evenings from October 16-December 11. The 9-week workshop is an opportunity for songwriters, sound designers and improvisers. You can create instrumental, electronic/computer, vocal music and all other musical genres with the support and structure of weekly meetings.

Fieldwork is a feedback model renowned in the dance community for exchanging valuable critical commentary and insight into developing works. Fieldwork workshops support the development of new work. At each meeting, participants present their works-in-progress and exchange feedback artist to artist. Guided by a facilitator, discussions are incisive and stimulating.

Workshop Information
Tuesdays 6:30-9pm, Oct 16 - Dec 11
Location: Singers Rorum Cabaret Room
Fee: $115 ($85 Field Members)

Contact The Field: 212-691-6969

Note: This is not a Singers Forum class. We are promoting it because it is a non-competitive class held in our space that we think would be beneficial to our students and friends.
