Sisters in Jazz Day at the VSO School of Music

Are you a woman or non-binary person? Do you play music? The VSO School of Music invites you to join industry professionals Jodi Proznick, Shruti Ramani, Ingrid Stitt, Cindy Fairbank and featured guest artist Alyssa Allgood to explore jazz for a day in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. Become immersed in the rhythms, improvisation, composition, and learn about the women who’ve brought magnificence to this popular genre of music.

We will celebrate and encourage diverse music lovers in a supportive space with jam sessions, workshops, mentoring, and an afternoon performance at 2:30pm. The concert is free and open to the public. Make your voice heard in conversations designed for students, teachers and beginner/intermediate level musicians. If you have 2+ years’ experience on vocals or an instrument—or just a curiosity about the nuts and bolts of jazz music—then this event is for you!

You will take away at the end of the day:

An understanding of how a jazz lead sheet works
Methodical and fun ways to practice improvisation
A new community of musical collaborators
Confidence and empowerment to do the creative work you have always wanted
Professional tips for teachers to teach creative music play in your classrooms and ideas to implement in your jazz bands

Tickets are $90 for the full day workshop at the VSO School of Music on Sunday, May 18 from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.
