Donna’s jazz singing class is an absolute joy. She creates such a warm, supportive atmosphere while also pushing us just beyond our comfort zones, helping us grow as singers in ways we might not have thought possible. Her exercises are fun and engaging, yet always rooted in solid technique, and she encourages us to develop our own natural singing styles rather than imitating others.One of the most incredible aspects of the class is the end-of-term concert, where we get the chance to perform a solo with a truly world-class jazz band—musicians who regularly play with top-level artists. The fact that Donna has brought them together for us is an extraordinary gift and a testament to her dedication and reputation in the industry.Because of the way Donna leads the class, we’ve formed a wonderfully supportive group, with no competitiveness—just genuine encouragement for each other’s progress. Week by week, almost imperceptibly, I find myself improving, gaining confidence, and deepening my understanding of jazz. It’s an experience I’d recommend to any singer looking to explore jazz in a nurturing yet inspiring environment."
