Jazz Voice with Alexandra H.

I've been singing for as long as I've been talking. The daughter of a drummer and a dancer music has been a huge part of my life since day one. Although as a young child I sang all the time and was in musicals, at age 7 I began to play the flute and intensely study both classically and in jazz. In high school as I became more serious about jazz, I also rediscovered my love for singing. I was playing and singing in my high school big bands as well as the Jazz Academy of Washington's jazz orchestra and a self lead quintet, The Red Line Quintet that both toured as well as playing many venues in the DC area. I would later be a teacher at the Jazz Academy of Washington's summer camp for 4 years, teaching instrumentalists and vocalists of all ages. I graduated with a degree in jazz studies from SUNY Purchase where I studied jazz and studied voice privately with renowned vocalist Alexis Cole. Because of my training with Alexis, I not only have knowledge of jazz vocals but also extensive training in technique. I lead a quintet that has released a record and gone on three tours as well as playing in many other bands all around New York city as well as having been one of the finalists in the Ella Fitzgerald Vocal Competition.
