    I would like to share some valuable information on an outstanding
    event in Dublin music education, which will take place on Friday,
    7th June.
    I believe this is something that doesn't happen very often (over
    here), and I would appreciate any help in spreading the message
    for everyone interested (readers/ members/ yourselves)

    Jazz Improvisation Workshop with Louise Gibbs
    LOUISE GIBBS is a singer, jazz improviser and composer. It has
    been said of her bebop-inspired style: "She can turn a hackneyed
    jazz standard into a newly-imagined composition...and takes musical
    risks...as expressive as any horn player whether the tune's by
    Kenny Wheeler or Rodgers & Hart". Originally from New Zealand,
    Louise now lives and works in London making forays into the Continent
    and the US.
    In London she leads her own quartet with pianist James Pearson,
    Julie Walkington (bass) and Stuart Richie (drums), and co-leads
    the Gibbs-Griffith Band with tenor player Frank Griffith. Recently
    she has been working in an unusual trio format with Tony Coe
    and Brian Priestley
    To earn a respectable living Louise teaches jazz vocal techniques,
    improvisation, and aesthetics at Goldsmiths College, University
    of London. She also directs the LiTMus Professional Development
    Programme based at the Royal College of Music.
    For more information about Louise Gibbs biography, teaching,
    research and writing visit: www.louisegibbs.co.uk

    Next Friday Louise is coming to Dublin to run a single Jazz Improvisation
    for Singers workshop. This is a unique chance for everyone interested
    in Jazz and willing to explore jazz improvisation and discover
    the secret of its simplicity with one of the most famous jazz
    vocal techniques tutors in the UK.
    No previous experience in jazz singing reqired, although at least
    some singing experience advisable.
