Let's try scat singing -Jazz vocal improvisation for singers

Hi everyone! It’s Mari. I am a jazz singer by profession in Japan. Thank you for choosing this program. I really appreciate it.

In this program, I’d like to tell you the secrets of “scat singing”. This is for the Jazz singers, especially for the beginners.

I’m teaching many Jazz students now. And most of all said that they were very afraid of singing Jazz freely. So I decided to create this course. For beginners, I think that enjoying scat singing is one of the most important elements in jazz. Also, you can find many new Jazz elements in this course. These experiences will make your skill better! Let's get started.

This course is for beginners, so there is no lesson about modes and scales. If we decide to open an intermediate course in the future, we will talk about it in that course.

Also, I’m gonna mention about the differences of the rhythmic styles between “Swing style” and “Bossa Nova style". As a jazz singer, you should know the differences and choose the right phrases in each rhythm style.
