REVIEWS of Richard Kalman as jazz educator:
Headline: Singers learn about music and all that jazz: “Richard Kalman inspires new students to move from jazz novices to confident performers in 10 weeks”. C. Engelbrecht, Contra Costa Sun, 11/22/00.

Commented student Carole H: “ I can’t believe what he made us accomplish in such a short time. Vocal classes enabled her to explore the endless track of American music.”

Commented student Jacquie D: “I like jazz singing and I couldn’t believe there was a course exactly like that. I came to learn some vocal variation and I definitely learned that.”

Headline: Vocal Jazz teacher helps promote joyful sounds: “When I saw videos of his students performing, I realized the breadth of choral jazz singing and the joyous sounds that came forth. I could see how much they were enjoying it from looking at the faces of his students as they sang. “ Clara Genser, Albany Journal 2/15/02.

“Thank you for being a wonderful, amazing vocal teacher. You make jazz and singing exciting, fun, emotional, rich, ... you turned singing into a dance of sounds for me. I will always be grateful for this.”
