Using his unrivalled experience of over 2000 Worldwide concerts (with line-ups ranging from 2 to 110-piece ensembles), live TV, radio and internet broadcasts, Matt has written a complete teaching methodology based on a breakdown of the performance skills required to perform the songs of the swing era with stylistic accuracy. The skills can be addressed individually or collectively, and layer up to form the ‘complete’ performance. 

Matt has analysed performances from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Matt Monro, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, and other master interpreters of the Great American Songbook, and identified the stylistic ingredients that made them so successful as singers.  

Specifically aimed at the Swing Era and Big Band repertoire, Matt guides participants through the six SingSwingSing! elements:

– The Importance of Words

– The importance of Melody

– Connection with The Audience

– Body Language & Movement

– Dynamics

– Emotional Content

​
