Wanted to Sing Jazz

I love being part of this choir as it has given me a new lease of life. I was with a choir for 16 years which was enjoyable to start with but got boring as the years went on. I always wanted to sing Jazz in a Jazz Choir, but when I checked on the internet the only Jazz Choir that came up was the Jazz Choir Scotland in Glasgow. Although it would have been nice to have had something like that in Edinburgh, I travel to Glasgow as I really enjoy being there. It is lovely to sing with a bunch of people who also love Jazz music. I feel the choir is coming on leaps and bounds and it is a real pleasure being part of it.

Gives You a Lift

Jumped at the chance to join Jazz Choir Scotland as no-one else is singing their repertoire. Lots of tunes from the Great American Songbook. Also to sing with a jazz trio as accompaniment gives you a great lift!

Great Fun

The Jazz Choir Workshop was an excellent day and great fun. As someone who knew very little about jazz and nothing about jazz style singing it was a real pleasure to meet jazz enthusiasts and get the chance after only an hour or so training to join them in a couple of numbers. Very friendly and supportive people and a great atmosphere rounded off with some great singing!

Something Different

I had been in a classical choir for 5 years and was looking for something different. By chance I had the opportunity to sing with the Jazz Choir and really enjoyed the experience, so decided to join. The audition was straight forward, but now there is a ‘no audition’ beginners choir which is probably what I would have needed a few years ago.

If it is not fun … don’t do it, do something else! The Jazz Choir has been immense fun, rehearsals are good and I look forward to concerts. But it is not just about having fun, we are learning new musical and performing skills, thanks to the talented and experienced jazz musician coaching the choir.

Wanted to Sing

I come from a musical family, and had wanted to join a choir for a long time. I joined Jazz Choir Scotland a while ago. I love the swing/jazz songs, and enjoy the practices, chatting to people who like to sing as much as I do.

Friendly Atmosphere

I joined the choir and soon inspired my sister and later our mum to join too. Despite our difference in ages, we all thoroughly enjoy being part of the choir, as it provides a great antidote to busy working lives. The choir leader is always enthusiastic and supports us to build on our existing experience and develop jazz singing techniques. Rehearsals and concerts provide a friendly atmosphere and a great range of music too!

Privilege

A privilege to sing in the Jazz Choir along side Lynne O’Neil, Stephen Duffy and the Jazz Ensemble in such a lovely venue with a bit of humour thrown in! Thanks too to the wonderful Frank McPhail and the Jim Clelland Trio.
