Ep 20: Kristen Collins – Accompanying Yourself as a Vocalist

by | Apr 16, 2023 | Podcast | 0 comments

Kristen is a vocalist who has a degree in Music Education from Winthrop University. She is also an accomplished classical pianist. She came to me for lessons in Jazz Piano. Now she is learning not only how to accompany herself, but getting into singing Jazz. We’re having a lot of serious fun working together on helping her develop her repertoire and her understanding of a new way of singing. It’s great to be a part of the process.

I love accompanying good singers, so it’s a real pleasure to work with Kristen.
