The fun and free scat workshop will be held on June 7th at JZ School at 2pm.

Ba-wap-baba-loo-wap-ba-wap-bam-boom. Not quite sure what that means? Neither are we, but believe it or not, singing scat off the top of your head in front of a crowd is a lot harder than it seems. Join Heidi Krenn, jazz and scat singer extraordinaire, for a master class introducing you to the basics of scat and vocal improvisation. Check out this free workshop and sign up for the 10-week course beginning June 14 if you're a keen Shoo-Be-Dooer.
