Nov 6-9 — JazzUV Festival 2011

"La frase encontrar tu sonido es irónica, pareciera que va uno a emprender una búsqueda por la selva, sin embargo creo que es más bien darse cuenta de lo que uno puede ofrecer al interpretar la música, percatarse de su individualidad y aprender a compartir sus experiencias", afirmó durante su clase la cantante Gretchen Parlato.
La intérprete, ganadora del concurso internacional La voz del instituto Thelonious Monk, comentó con la audiencia la importancia de encontrar un sonido o una voz personal en la música, y advirtió que esta búsqueda también es un proceso de crecimiento personal en el que se debe combinar el aprendizaje académico con el desarrollo de una expresividad.
"El proceso de búsqueda es importante porque en él se desarrollan ideas, además es necesario mantener un balance entre el aprendizaje, desarrollo y dominio de una técnica que soporte la emotividad y la expresividad interpretativa, porque con esto ofrecemos una propuesta más completa al público", comentó. >>read more
