Vancouver Vocal Jazz Lab is a weekly vocal workout for your ears, voice and musical brain. Beginner to advanced singers learn together in a playful, supportive environment where everyone can work at their own pace.
Each 90-minute class is a stand-alone creative workout where we:
* Sing root–5th–3rd–7th movements and bass lines in harmony
* Explore how melodies sit over chord structures
* Practice rephrasing, scatting and improvisation
* Step up to the microphone and solo when you’re ready
* Learn by doing — using repetition to embody jazz forms, feels and vocabulary
No prep. No homework. Learn on your feet!
Over time, you’ll strengthen your ear, internalize jazz theory and build confidence improvising and soloing — not by studying it first, but by hearing it, singing it and doing it.
Whether you’re new to jazz or have been singing for years, this is a welcoming place to explore, learn and sing alongside other people who love this music.
Founded and facilitated by Sandi Melody — professional vocalist, choir director and private vocal coach with 30+ years of experience helping singers develop their skills and fall in love with their vocal artistry.
