Summary of This Method
Designed for jazz singers and anyone wishing to develop improvisation and ear training, this book/CD pack offers a structured yet playful way to integrate the essential scales and modes of the jazz language. The work focuses on the modes of the major scale to understand their color, memorize them durably, and know how to use them musically, whether in vocal solo, scat singing, or in a choral context.
The CD is a true daily practice tool: you will find vocal warm-ups accessible to all levels, followed by exercises dedicated to each mode, designed to establish intonation, rhythmic placement, and pitch accuracy reflexes. Rhythm section tracks without vocals then allow free improvisation, testing melodic ideas, and working creativity within a typically jazz harmonic framework.
The book complements listening and practice with clear transcriptions of warm-ups and workouts, as well as a set of essential references: theory reminders, presentation of the major scale modes, scat syllables to enrich articulation, and a brief historical perspective on modal jazz. An ideal resource for students, teachers, and choir directors seeking concrete support to develop jazz vocal technique and modal vocabulary.
