Recently on faculty at Berklee College of Music, where he taught voice lessons in all styles, a vocal jazz ensemble, and two vocal improvisation ensembles, Jeremy Ragsdale has also performed as one of the lead singers in BEANTOWN, Boston's top event band. Before his time in Boston, Ragsdale was a regular performer in the Annapolis and Baltimore music scene, and was the Vocal Jazz Director at Towson University.
Although the focus for these lessons will be voice, the following topics will be included for anyone who needs it:
- Classical and Contemporary Singing (All Styles)
- Classical and Jazz Piano
- Traditional and Contemporary Music Theory & Analysis
- Ear Training
- Sight Reading
- Vocal Improvisation (scat singing and R&B riffing)
- Traditional and Contemporary Vocal Arranging
- Composition
These lessons are 50 minutes long, and cost $50. Each student will be billed for the entire month, on the first of each month. Instead of arbitrarily working on songs and exercises, all students will be working towards some sort of performance, regardless of their skill level!
