Busy People, shy People and out of town people can sing too! I’m adding a new lesson option to my private teaching.For those of you too busy, shy or otherwise unable to schedule appointments w/ me in person, I’m now able to offer lessons by mail!!
Here’s how it works:
You can review my available accompaniment song titles on my website (see list) and choose up to 4 songs at a time . Give me an idea of your highest and lowest comfortable range (notes). I’ll choose a key and will record an accompaniment track for you w/ multiple choruses on a CD.
I will also record for you a guide melody, several improvisation exercises in harmonics, and rhythm techniques to be used with each song. You will also get a "virtual jam session" where I will give examples of improvised melody and, or scat 8 bars at a time and you and I will "trade lines". This has proven to be a great way to jump start your freedom of expression.
I will send you the cd and the sheet music.
This type of lesson will not replace private one on one lessons at my studio, as I’ll need to hear you to help you, however, for many it's a great way to add to your repertoire and stay in practice.
I advise students to schedule a private lesson with me after working on your own w/ the cd.

Here are some comments from students about my "lessons by mail"
"I love the concept of the lesson by mail. With two small children, sometimes it can be hard to fit in times when I can actually go to a lesson. This way I can "go" any time I want. And the improvising exercises have been very helpful. Trading 4's or 8's with your recorded voice is helping me understand more fully the concepts of improvisation and harmonizing. I appreciate your generosity of spirit in helping with this complex part of singing jazz." Sarah

"Greta's "Distance Learning" has made a huge difference in my singing. It's like being at a lesson only over and over again, so my practice can be endless-- which is what I clearly was lacking. I think it's her best idea yet. Going to a lesson after practicing gives you more confidence and uses time very wisely."
Kathleen

"I have only had one "lesson by mail" but I plan to do it again , probably one out of my two lessons a month. The best thing about it that I get the tracks on a CD; I don't have to pull them off of my tapes.
It has allowed me to learn new tunes faster and then devote my "face time" lessons to fine tuning and working on technique." Cara

""There are a couple of reasons why this works. First, it's great to
have Greta's expertise in a format that you can revisit again and
again. It feels like having many sessions in one. Second, if you're
at all intimidated about trying new things (like scatting), this
allows you to try alternate melodies and trade lines with a pro in
the privacy of your home. I feel like I'll be that much farther along
and more confident when I work face to face with Greta. What a great "
idea!" Carole
