About the teacher
Dutch Edison winner Ineke Van Doorn is a highly respected authority as a jazz singer, improvisor and teacher. Her book ‘Singing from the Inside Out’ (2016 ArtEZ University Press) got international acclaim and is used worldwide.
Labeled as ‘the adventurer among the Dutch jazz vocalists’ Ineke has been praised for her personal style, her expressive improvisations and her seemingly unlimited vocal capacities. She mainly performs original music that is thoughtful and multi-layered and combines lyrical songs with improvisation. Ineke released 15 albums often co-lead by guitarist Marc van Vugt and released duo-albums with Jeroen van Vliet (pi) and Jasper van 't Hof (pi). She collaborated with the the Metropole Orchestra and the Netherlands Chamber Choir, performed her music with 50 Soundmakers and created an original duet on criticism with dancer/choreographer Cecilia Moiso (FI).
Ineke performed in New York, Japan, Europe, South Asia and extensively in Canada, often combining performing with teaching masterclasses. She served 6 years on the board of the European Voice Teachers Association and lectures regularly at international voice conferences. Recently Ineke was appointed honorary member of the Dutch Voice Teachers Association.
