Christmas Carol Advent Calendar:

25 songs to brighten your holiday season; be amazed with how you improve your ear, your sound, and your chops.

3. Practice a Christmas carol each day, from December 1-25, from the list below, trying the carol out in multiple keys.

An Afternoon with New York Jazz Academy at Michiko Studios - Michiko Rehearsal Studios Rachel Valenich starts off the conversation, “I’m always seeking inspiration which is why I am drawn to jazz. I’m so insanely inspired by people’s ability to be free, to play, to just have fun.”
