Inside the Lyrics with Ed Reed at California Jazz Conservatory

About

Ed Reed has been singing since he was a child. Now, at the age of 90, he has had a lot of time to think about music and talk about it with others! He released his first recording at the age of 78 and continues to work on new songs and new projects. In this workshop, students will sing a song of their choice with a professional accompanist. Mr. Reed will guide them through the art of interpreting a lyric. Topics include pronunciation, breathing and phrasing as suggested by the nature of the lyric, as well as methods of communicating the story to highlight nuance and irony. Singers of all levels are welcome.
