Jazz Singing lessons with Irini Konstantinidi

As an educator, Irini aspires to share her passion for scat singing, storytelling improvisation, and spontaneous creativity with anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the magical and playful world of jazz. She is dedicated to transmitting her passion for jazz phrasing and inspiring a deeper dive into the inexhaustible magic of improvisation, the beauty and authenticity of instant composing, and the essence of musical interplay.
Jazz is a universal language, and therefore learning to “speak Jazz” is priceless.

Phrasing” is a major topic that has not been emphasized well enough in jazz education yet. In her Master’s Thesis at The Royal Conservatoire of The Hague (NL) with the title “Phrasing and Interplay from the vocal point of view – Phrasing as the vocalist’s tool to stimulate interplay within a jazz combo”, Irini has been exploring techniques and ways to help singers develop those phrasing skills that will make them an active participant in the interplay of the jazz group and not just the voice that sings the theme. 

She is offering individual coaching on vocal technique (based on a constructive combination of classical singing principles and CVT elements) that can potentially guide students to the utmost of their vocal skills. Furthermore, she offers individual or group courses of jazz improvisation, delving into phrasing and scat singing as well as focusing on discovering the personal style and sound identity of each one of her students. 

Irini is a member of the Hellenic Voice Teachers Association HEVTA (ΕΣΕΦ).
