I am actually a “proper” “jazz” “pianist” and “vocalist” by day! 🤪 Ok important things first: here is a recipe for marshmallow fluff: take however much fluid whipping cream you plan to use for this recipe and whip it. Once it is mostly stiff but still slightly pourable (soft peaks) you’ll sweeten it with whatever you like (I’m the sugar free banana syrup type) and then start to sift in small amounts of xanthan gum until it takes on the texture you like. Bonus points if you get your in-house audio engineer to… Continue reading Shows ## Pages - [Booking](https://heidisavoie.com/booking/): PERFORMING To inquire about me playing at your next event, fill in this form and I will get back to you!

As instrumental music can fully exist outside the confines of words, it can be difficult to find the right title for something that is pure sound and possibility. I took inspiration from the time of year in which I had composed it and stamped it, “Almost May”. Like springtime in the Northern Hemisphere, “Almost May” unfolds slowly and majestically, with ever-evolving layers for the senses to discover.  What to listen for: Theme The main theme is first… Continue reading Shows - [Hamilton Savoie Duo](https://heidisavoie.com/hamilton-savoie-duo/): Blake Hamilton and Heidi Savoie are an emerging jazz duo, performing classics from the Great American Songbook and contemporary pop tunes as well as original compositions. Back in the summer of 2017, the duo began appearing regularly at a bookstore downtown and winning the hearts of book-lovers with their signature blend of baritone and alto vocals against an infectious piano-bass groove. “If you’re going to be here again, next time I’ll bring a friend!” said one listener. Since then these two have played numerous shows and private events, including venues such as DROM Taberna, the Tranzac and more! Heidi and… Continue reading Shows - [A little more about my teaching](https://heidisavoie.com/lessons/a-little-more-about-my-teaching/): Welcome! I’m Heidi – I keep this page as a place of resources for my students, and those who are thinking of studying with me! MY WHY At the heart of what I’m doing in my teaching is not the fundamentals of music in scales and songs, or even good technique (although I have a deep love of good technique) but the belief that we can actively refine ourselves, that we can make face difficult things and gain capabilities we hadn’t had before. I aim to give a practical experience of self-efficacy that can be translated through the other arenas… Continue reading Shows - [Alexander Technique](https://heidisavoie.com/alexander-technique/): What is the Alexander Technique? The Alexander technique is a unique method of mind-body reeducation which restores proper functioning to the body. The technique teaches students to use their bodies in a healthier, more coordinated way, preventing pain and injury. The Alexander technique was started by F.M. Alexander (1869-1955, Tasmania) and is recognized worldwide for its health benefits. Alexander developed the technique to address the loss of his voice from misuse that threatened his voice acting career. He found he had a tendency to pull his head back and down, compressing the spine, and causing the limbs to contract in… Continue reading Shows - [Current Students Login](https://heidisavoie.com/lessons/): If you have any trouble logging in, just let me know and I can reset your portal access. - [synthpuff](https://heidisavoie.com/synthpuff/) - [Freedoms Suite Lyrics](https://heidisavoie.com/freedoms-suite-lyrics/): I – Freedom from hate, unconditionallyInstrumental II – Freedom from Self-Pity Does she see herself in the water?She’s got the eyes of her motherIn the movements of her faceHer ancestors come together And man says, “Let us make God in her image,Make her ruler over the sea.Maybe she will heal the damageFor we are thirsty.” Can he hear his breath in the moonlit night?He knows the ways of a hunterThough we cannot keep the timeAt the end of every life begins another And we’ll say, “Let us make God in his imageMake him keeper of the landMaybe he’ll restore the… Continue reading Shows - [As I Am Lyrics](https://heidisavoie.com/as-i-am-lyrics/): I’ve sailed through many stormsI don’t need sunny weatherOr love that crumbles in the sand He walks into the roomLike a man who needs no otherHe’s come to take me as I am And under his touch there is nowhere else to belongUnder his breath there is no need to be strong And who can I trust to take complete control?Who can I trust with it all?

Why would I get boredWhen the same sun rises every day?And casts me in a new shade of goldAs I look to you and say How could I grow tired of you?How could I grow tired of you?

Freedoms is the debut album by Heidi Savoie and some of Toronto’s most exciting young artists. To make an independent album of almost all original work is a daring endeavour in a sound-saturated world where overstimulated listeners crave familiarity. Savoie steps into the world of orchestral jazz as a songwriter, arranger, pianist, and vocalist. She says this project is the result of asking “what would I be doing if I could do anything?”. It turns out “anything” means collecting mason jars and scoring string and accordion music for a horn-dominated… Continue reading Shows - [Press](https://heidisavoie.com/press/): Music: Freedoms by Heidi Savoie Song Sampler Youtube Demo Video Visuals: Freedoms Album Images: cover, cover image, inside image Light collection: white piano, white piano square, Dark Collection: piano lid reflection, side laugh, side profile and keys Black and White Collection: keys closeup, cello piano, side singing and cello, back of cello and piano background, faces, overhead close, overhead far, indigo Headshots: one, two, three, four, five, six Text: Article on “Ya Like Jazz” Reviews and testimonials - [Homepage](https://heidisavoie.com/homepage-2/): New Products - [Store](https://heidisavoie.com/store/): Coming soon!
