Simplicity and Sparkle: Take 2!
Creating Holiday Happiness
With Amanda Whiting
Ho! Ho! Ho! Oh no!! Is the holiday season really right around the corner? How many of us had good intentions of getting that holiday music out early and adding some festive tunes to our seasonal repertoire? With the busy days ahead, finding time for that extra practice session may be challenging. No worries! Amanda Whiting to the rescue! Amanda will play selections from her new collections “Jazzy Christmas Tunes, Volume 2” and share ideas and tips on how to add sparkle to any arrangement. Join us for a hang that will have you opening up new tunes and wrapping old favorites with festive ribbons and bows!
A companion PDF for this livestream is available HERE.
Meet Amanda Whiting:
Welsh harpist Amanda Whiting challenges traditional perceptions of her instrument by bringing a thoroughly modern approach to her compositions and performances. As the first UK harpist to earn a Masters in Jazz, she tours extensively around the world with engagements including London’s Southbank to jazz festivals with trumpeter Matthew Halsall in Hamburg, London, Helsinki, Johannesburg, and Belgium. Recent projects include collaborations with numerous DJs including DJ Yoda, Rebecca Vasmant, and Jazzanova, as well as being on flutist Chip Wickham’s album Blue to Red. She has spent the past year writing and recording her latest album as a follow up to her highly successful After Dark (Jazzman Records) which led to her nomination for the prestigious “Instrumentalist of the Year” at the Jazz FM Awards. In addition to her active performance and recording schedule, she is on faculty at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and the Harp Column Academy. As a response to her students’ requests for learning how to play in the jazz style, she wrote her popular Pedal Sliders series of books encouraging the freedom to improvise by making jazz accessible and fun.
