Here are a few questions, if you have a burning question not answered here, feel free to contact me DM in Facebook: www.facebook.com/sarahjamesjazz

Q: I prefer in person learning and am skeptical about online courses. What can you tell me that will make me change my mind?

A: Well, first of all, the best part of online learning is that you can access it any time. On your computer or mobile device, 24/7. This is a huge benefit, considering the issues with commuting, on the road, late at night, after regular hours etc. 2nd, you can listen/read the same content over and over to make sure you are understanding the material. 3rd, since there are so many links and examples in this course, you don't have to depend on your own note taking to highlight the topics you are most interested in. This alone is one of the big advantages to online learning.

Q: If I have any questions how do I get in touch with you?

A: I am available on Zoom for in depth sessions, e-mail, and FB messenger. I usually return messages with 24 to 48 hours. You can DM me on FB or we can set up a Zoom call if you need an depth session. When you purchase the course, you will be on my mailing list, and you will be getting updates. Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Q. What is Mindset? Do you include Mindset Exercises in this course?

Everyone is talking about Mindset! But what exactly does it mean? The Oxford Dictionary defines "mindset" as: The established set of attitudes held by someone. There are 2 basic mindsets, growth and fixed.

A: Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset: A growth mindset is the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. In contrast, a fixed mindset assumes that talent is innate and immutable.

Practicing with Persistence:

Singers with a growth mindset view challenges as opportunities to improve. They are more likely to persist through difficult exercises and vocal drills, leading to better technique over time.

Embracing Feedback:

Constructive criticism is seen as a useful tool for growth rather than a personal attack. This openness to feedback can lead to more rapid and sustained improvement.

Mindset is a critical component in making the right musical and business decisions with your talent. I definitely include mindset awareness and implementation in "The Jazz Singers Vocal Success Blueprint"!

Q: I'm in school and will be taking jazz vocal ensemble and jazz history classes, won't this be the same thing?

A: No, it won't. Generally speaking in a jazz history class you will be studying many decades of jazz, many different instrumentalists and quite possible, be in a class that has a few hundred students. The history included in "The Jazz Singers Vocal Success Blueprint" is specific to singers, with info on the singing innovators and gives you direct links to the best examples of jazz singing to model, learn from and appreciate.

Q: I am really busy, will I have enough time to go thru all the modules and learn what I need to know. Also, is this course for beginners or advanced singers?

A: I've made this course universal in the sense that once you purchase it, it's your forever to keep. That way, whatever is going on in your life, you can always come back and check out a module that you need to focus on at that moment. The course is for both beginners and advanced singers. The health tips, the gear tips, the vocal warm ups, the extensive linking to classic repertoire is valuable for every level of singer, even professional. Life long learning is essential to keep things fresh and if something really interesting comes up, I will be adding more modules. Staying in the loop with singers is essential to expose yourself to new material, new repertoire, new arrangements, and inspiration from other singers who are "doing something".
