CURRICULUM AVL. JULY 1st!

You want to learn to improvise over a jazz standard, but don't know where to start?

This 3rd module focuses on two guide tone lines over a jazz standard. Don't know what a guide tone line is? Don't worry, you will learn all about it. Think of guide tone lines as your harmonic/melodic guard rails through the song.

In this no-nonsense approach I give you concrete exercises and guidance on how to get you scatting:

We will practice two guide tone lines through:

·       Learning the guide tone lines

·       Practicing singing them against each other

·       Changing up the melody

·       Changing up the rhythm

·       Introducing upper and lower neighbors

·       Slowly removing the guard rails

We will practice all of the above with the song "Fly Me To The Moon", a classic jazz standard, if there ever was one!

This course is the third in a series of four, so fear not, you will be able to go much deeper into vocal improvisation.
