With a well-rounded background in Jazz, Classical, Theatre, and Commercial vocals, Jadi addresses the unique needs of all vocal genres. Originally from the great state of Montana, Jadi began her career performing as a guest artist with respected Jazz vocalists. She then left her beloved mountains in 2011 to complete a Music Theatre degree with the prestigious Elon University. Upon graduation, Jadi moved to Nashville, where she has written, recorded, and performed as a vocalist in her own right. Soon after her arrival in Nashville, she fell in love with helping others to discover the unique and singular nature of their own voices. Jadi considers it a privilege and a joy to play a part in the pursuit of her students’ goals. While still encouraging correct technique and styling, she ultimately strives to foster an environment that allows each student to discover and embrace that which makes them unique and memorable. https://jadiraevocals.com/about daily 0.75 2022-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d73672a0eead385a7fe2d4/34ab60fd-75c4-4adc-a621-468c4f3e877c/JadiRaeCurtis3.jpg About - First and foremost, I believe in an encouragement-based approach to coaching. Shame and tough-love do not have any place in my studio. Psychology has proven that this bolsters confidence, improves performance, and strengthens the trust between student and teacher. I challenge you, instead, with excitement and, sometimes, a little bit of playful sass! Yes, discipline accelerates success, but when manifested unhealthily, it comes at the cost of confidence, trust in oneself, physical relaxation, and a positive relationship between coach and client. I realize that more than just your talent is in my hands- your voice with which you express your deepest emotions to the world is at stake. Confidence, once shaken, is hard to rebuild. I understand the responsibility I take on when you enter the studio. I approach your well-being as a person just as seriously as your well-being as a vocalist. I myself have studied voice from a large number, and variety, of vocal coaches, spanning over 20 years and in a variety of styles. From classical to rock, I’ve tried it all. My philosophy as a coach is rather simple- I consider myself a personal trainer, and work toward strength, flexibility, agility, and endurance, as would the coach of any athlete! The vocal apparatus is, after all, a physical mechanism in our bodies. I nurture mind-body connection, which allows for relaxation and trust in yourself to grow. Artistry and style can take the forefront once each area of the voice and passagios have become comfortable and familiar to you. While I do guide you in the direction of current genre trends to increase marketability and industry success, I want each and every student to have the overall goal of sounding like their best selves- not someone else. Originality, personality, and authenticity are our best “secret weapons” as singers. I pull from as many areas of knowledge and research that I can get my hands on. In my sessions, I frequently refer to music theory, anatomy, yoga, acting, exercise science, speech language pathology, psychology... each and every one of my students learns differently, so I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Therefore, I use whatever tools I have, and continue to build on my knowledge base, to reach you in the way that works best for your mind and body. I see singing as both the most indescribably beautiful expression of our humanity and simultaneously something mechanical and anatomical that can be scientifically deconstructed- the marriage of the mystery and the science is what I love so much about my job. Art and science aren’t mutually exclusive. Learning more about your voice and your mechanism won’t cause you to overthink and lose your innate artistry- it will free you, enough to STOP thinking too much and know you can surrender to the music with full confidence! After all, magic is simply science that we haven’t yet figured out how to explain. https://jadiraevocals.com/sessions daily 0.75 2022-01-20 https://jadiraevocals.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-01-20 https://jadiraevocals.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2022-01-20
