NEXT "SING JAZZ STANDARDS" COURSE STARTS FEB 2026 - SIGN UP NOW FOR THE WAITLIST

SING THE SONGS THAT SHAPED AN ERA

Learn the artistry of jazz singing through the timeless music of The Great American Songbook

Step into the golden glow of vintage glamour and classic cool. An era where big bands were swinging, Mad Men toasted to Sinatra, The Rat Pack reigned supreme, and Ella Fitzgerald was the First Lady of Song. The Great American Songbook was more than music; it was the soundtrack of sophistication. From the smoky clubs of Manhattan to the silver screens of Hollywood, these songs defined style, romance, and timeless elegance.

In our Sing Jazz Standards course, we show singers how to interpret these iconic tunes with authenticity, grace and flair: you don’t just sing the music, you’ll learn how to phrase and improvise. We also teach you the jazz jargon you'll need to know, how to put together an amazing repertoire, how to communicate with your band like a pro, how to put together your music (also known as 'charts' or 'lead sheets') in the right keys for your voice, how to captivate your audience with your storytelling...and more.

Have you always wanted to sing the songs made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and the other icons who drew from The Great American Songbook?

MEET YOUR COACH:

MY NAME IS STELLA BASS...

...and I’m a Grammy-longlisted jazz singer, songwriter, recording artist and music producer and member of the Recording Academy (New York Chapter), with two jazz albums to my name, a Master's Degree in Jazz Performance, and 20 years as a professional singer and interpreter of The Great American Songbook. I'm also the creator of Sing Jazz Standards (and if you like, you can read more about me on www.stellabass.com).

If the words “jazz standards” make you think of smoky clubs, velvet gowns, and songs that really mean something, you’re not alone. That timeless, cinematic allure is what draws so many singers from all genres to this music. Think of all the popstars, rockers and opera singers who have released a jazz standards album - for example, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Rod Stewart, Renée Fleming. It's an incredibly well-loved genre of music. But knowing how to actually sing it, with style, substance and authenticity - not to mention navigating through the 'jargon', picking the right repertoire, preparing your sheet music ('charts' or 'lead sheets') as well as communication confidently with your musicians as the bandleader, can feel like stepping into another world, and bring a WHOLE lot of overwhelm and intimidation. That’s exactly why I created this course.

Whether you’re a professional singer from another genre, an aspiring jazz vocalist, or someone who simply feels drawn to the elegance of the songs of The Great American Songbook, this course offers a clear, practical path into the world of jazz vocals and musicianship, and a place where you can finally let go of the overwhelm!

Who This Course Is For

✅ Professional singers from classical, musical theatre, pop, rock: learn how to sing jazz with authenticity and lead your band

✅ Aspiring jazz vocalists: you’re not gigging (yet), but you’re serious about developing the tools to sing standards confidently

✅ Singers who feel intimidated by the word "jazz". Here, we break it down into simple, clear steps that demystify the genre.

✅ Singers who want real-world guidance: you want to learn from someone who performs this music onstage professionally

✅ Singers who want to connect, not just copy - learning to interpret, communicate, and own these timeless songs

✅ Those who want structured, practical guidance to singing The Great American Songbook with style and substance

**Who This Course Is Not For**

(and that’s ok - we all start somewhere)

❌ Total beginner singers - if you’re still learning basic vocal technique, pitch, or breathing, this course may be too advanced. It's designed for singers who already have some vocal experience.

❌ Singers looking for academic jazz theory deep-dives. We use the music theory that singers need, but it isn’t a 'heavy' jazz theory course. It’s grounded in performance, feel, using jazz essentials.

❌ Those expecting instant results without putting in the work . We simplify the process, but singing standards still takes practice, curiosity and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone

❌ People looking for a suite of cookie-cutter vocal exercises - this is about interpretation, nuance, and style...developing your voice in the context of real songs, not just scales and drills.
