Singing
With Style
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazz Vocal Warm Up, Singing Technique & Vocal Style
Singing Lessons
A 3 CD set with almost four hours of material that teaches good singing technique
as you sing a vocal warm up using eleven jazz standards. Then Singing With Style
takes you to the next step and teaches you how to stylize all of those songs
with ornaments, licks, scat singing, and more. All of the essentials of good
voice technique are covered, followed by extensive vocal stylizing lessons.
| "I
have dealt with a number of "professionals" in the world of
music training and theory, but your no-nonsense explanations, examples
and song choices really yield results. For the $27.00, your approach and
process must be the equivalent of hundreds of dollars in lessons at least.
Thank you, Susan!" Barry Thomas, Lebanon, Oregon |
Singing
with Style Includes:
Over 90 (ninety)
.MP3 tracks including eleven jazz standards played by a jazz trio (piano, bass
and drums). The Vocal Warm Up Section includes the songs with vocals and instructional
introductions. The Vocal Style Section includes the songs with more stylized
vocals and instructional introductions. CD #3 has the same songs minus the vocals
so singers can work "without the training wheels." These tracks without
vocals can be used as a jazz vocal warm up, or for practicing different vocal
style concepts.
In the Vocal Warm Up Section you'll learn about correct breathing and posture,
how to warm up correctly, increase your range, improve your intonation (pitch),
build control, build resonance, and improve your tone, volume and vocal endurance.
Singers diction, the mix register, safe belting, articulation and vibrato development
and control are also covered.
In the Vocal Style
Section you'll learn phrasing, improvising, ornaments (licks and fills), pentatonic
runs, scat singing, interpretation, melodic variation, vocal texture variations,
and all the other vocal licks you've heard singers do but couldn't figure out.
Though jazz songs are used to teach these elements, they are essential for all
contemporary styles including pop, rock, R&B, country, and blues.
Beginning singers
can sing through the warm up section at their own pace to learn how to sing
correctly and to develop good vocal technique and strength. Experienced singers
can skip the instructional intros and use the vocal warm-up section to maintain
their vocal technique and strength. Once they've learned the songs, singers
can also skip the warm up section and move directly to working with the vocal
style section.
Vocal Range
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eb to Eb (two octaves): Alto/High Tenor/Bass range
Bass singers will sing an octave below Susan. You can get an idea of the vocal
range of the songs by listening to the audio samples. Baby Baby All the Time
has the lowest notes of all the songs. So Nice has the highest notes. Sopranos
and baritones can also use Singing With Style by singing a few note substitutions
to add or subract low or high notes: note substitutions are explained in the
vocal style section.
