Karrin Allyson Master class

Learn from a jazz vocal superstar! Individual coaching sessions with Karrin are now filled, but you can still participate in the masterclass without receiving individual coaching. The cost is $20 to observe and $10 for students. You can learn a great deal by observing how Karrin works with a wide range of singers to shape a solo performance. A great warm-up for her concert on Sunday, May 6th!
