biography

“Singing is my truest way to express all that I am and all that I feel” - Marianne Solivan

Jazz came to vocalist-Marianne Solivan when she was 18 years old. After years of study in the musical theater and classical genres she found herself being pulled to the improvisation and swing of Jazz. This connection to the music and to the creativity it demands in its makers is what inspired Marianne to focus her singing on Jazz, and has lead her to study at two of the best music schools in the country, Berklee College of Music for her undergraduate dual major in Music Education and Performance and the New England Conservatory of Music for a Masters in Jazz Studies. Throughout her time in Boston Marianne was a regular in the Jazz scene performing consistently in every different type of venue. Her passion for the music also led her to become a Jazz Activist and along with saxophonist Dan Blake they start the Boston Jazz Collective to support and unite the scattered Jazz scene.

my teaching approach

Music is joyful and even when learning hard concepts it should bring you joy, so I want to make sure that the music is feeding the student as much as the students feeds the craft. I will make sure to tailor each lesson to my student being careful to have goals and direct aims for every lesson and group of lessons. I want to get my students to a place where they can express themselves openly and perform honestly and expressively.
