(More customer reviews)I first used this book myself and found it extremely easy to learn the concepts and quickly become proficient scat singing with any tune. I previously tried other vocal improvisation books, but they all were scale/chord/theory based. This method uses an aural/melodic approach which is basically theme and variation. You basically listen to a melody and learn to alter the syllables, melody, and rhythm of any tune and get you scat singing almost instantly. I especially enjoyed practicing with the recorded rhythm section on the 2 CDs.
I later used the method in a classroom situation with my choral students. They loved how quickly they could learn to scat sing on any tune. I plan on using this method in my general music classes. These concepts will help me give an improvisation experience to non-musicians. I highly recommend this book for developing individual skills as well as a teaching method in a classroom situation.

Vocal improvisation can be easily and effectively learned by singers or taught in a classroom situation. For choral ensembles, it is educationally valid as a supplement to the total choral musical curriculum by increasing creativity in individual students, and by enhancing the over-all musicianship of entire ensembles. For individual singers, it can increase vocal skill, musicianship, and performance confidence. This new approach is based on the technique of theme and variation. By using the elements of vocal improvisation: syllables, melody, and rhythm, and applying the following techniques, musical objectives can be met and instant success achieved. In other words, you can learn to improvise right now.
