Rosana is a fabulous vocalist, arranger, songwriter and educator. Her compositions range from heartfelt to clever and her choral arrangements are by now standard repertoire for MS, HS and collegiate VJ ensembles. Check out her book on song interpretation, Singing with Expression. All through the past year, Rosana, along with Darmon Meader from the New York Voices, offered a monthly zoom class, the Vocal Jazz Improvisation Boot Camp, which received highest marks by students and educators alike. Follow Rosana on social media to find out about upcoming opportunities.

Has anyone not heard of Kerry Marsh? Kerry is a prolific arranger whose homepage sets new standards in (self-)publishing. Kerry and his wife, Julia Dollison, produce demo recordings for every chart, which you can listen to while perusing the scores. They offer part tracks, minus-one tracks and even sky track mixers, a simplified DAW that allows customization of the mix; a popular service during the pandemic's online instruction period. If they keep their innovations coming, Kerry and Julia might soon be renting out their clones to support your ensembles in live performances.

After two decades of providing vocal jazz directors with the finest selection of arrangements, the Don Corleone of collegiate vocal jazz, Frank DeMiero, and his wife Yvonne passed on Sound Music Publications, aka SMP Jazz, to another power couple in the vocal jazz world, Matt & Jessica Falker. Now based in Oceanside, California and under the new name, Anchor Music Publications, this publisher not only appears on top of the list in your local yellow pages but also provides information on VJ festivals in the US and Canada, and a link to the Vocal Jazz Academy (VJA), an educator support institute.
