Annual Intensives

“Ayelet Rose Gottlieb is creating a holistic jazz vocal community. It’s inter-racial, inter-generational and a space where instrumentalists who are not vocalists are beautifully integrated in a horizontal way. It’s also a community where people who are not vocalists or learned musicians can find where song lives within them. Ayelet also deeply understands the meaning of “intuitive musician” so exposure to more complex aspects of theory are presented playfully and without judgment. This is the place to come hang and learn, for so many reasons. Including how the vibe will warm your heart. And how your heart will be part of the warming of other hearts. Thank you Ayelet.”

The Orchard’s (now annual) Intensives are weekend-long deep dives to discover your true voice. Exhilarating vocal workshops by cutting edge musicians

For all levels, in a myriad of approaches: body-voice work, Improvisation and rhythm; Poetry writing and graphic scoring; Listening Hour, Embodying Ancestry and Sensory Play and more…

Our intention is to offer the 2022 OoP Intensive at a “Pay-from-the-Heart” system. Meaning – you can pay anything from $0-1,000,000 to participate, at your own discretion, based on your ability, sense of fairness and generosity.

We are committed to continue to bring to you some of the most incredible and cutting edge musicians to facilitate workshops through the Orchard. And we’re committed to treating all peoples involved with fairness and respect.

To be able to keep all of these promises to ourselves and to you – we wish to create a strong foundation for the Orchard, via its new home on Patreon.

TESTIMONIALS

"Ayelet, I wanted to thank you personally for arranging the Intensive, and running it in such a wholehearted and insightful manner. You absolutely managed to create a safe and generative space for students to grow, each from their own backgrounds. As a musician, you combine what seems to be a flawless technique with great musicality and courage to create in the moment."

It was wonderful to connect with all the great people at Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's Vocal Intensive III workshop. It really exceeded my expectations. The faculty was incredibly top notch and the setting was very welcoming regardless of expertise. Ayelet is a fantastic facilitator and the weekend's program covered so much including the chance to meet and learn with world class vocalists and teachers. A platform for teaching, discussion, listening sessions and a safe-space for musical adventure and connectedness. Highly recommended for anyone interested in expanding their musical horizon.

"The workshops are very well presented, with good hands-on participation. The vibe is of a beautiful community."

"The Intensive not only met my expectations but really exceeded them. I was a bit insecure and self-conscious about not being a professional musician and participating but I found a really beautiful, supportive atmosphere and collective, so I really felt like I belonged. I thought the workshops might go over my head but everything was presented so beautifully. I was really able to understand, go in-depth and learn a lot. Especially as someone who is just starting out in music, it has been really helpful and educational."
