New Book! “Vocal Jazz Technique: A Mixing Table Model”
Anchor Music has teamed up with a Dutch author (Katrien Van Opstal) and publisher to bring to you a brand new downloadable book about Vocal Jazz Technique. The idea of the “Mixing Table Model” is a method of looking at the voice production system as a mixing table of different sounds. The book comes with audio examples for low and high voice.
At the JEN conference? The author will do a book signing at the Anchor Music booth on Friday @ 3 PM – meet us there!
