Four live jazz lessons plus your first online scat solo — Agata Pisko on jazz tone, straw warm-ups, larynx stability and improvising on Autumn Leaves.

Jazz asks for a sound most technique training never names. In this masterclass, IVTOM mentor teacher and jazz singer Agata Pisko builds it in front of you across four live lessons — two studio students and two online — working The Girl from Ipanema, Every Time We Say Goodbye, Cry Me a River and Misty. You'll see her straw warm-up, her cues for keeping "the buzz" while playing on the edge of airiness, key choices that let a voice connect, cry and fry as colour, and kiki, meow and cuckoo exercises for a stable larynx. She closes by teaching the melody and bass line of Autumn Leaves and trading fours with the room.
