Improvisation for (jazz) singers: just use your ears!

Remember Ella Fitzgerald's famous scat solo's? How did she DO it? Would you like to give scatting a try?

In Let's SCAT,  jazz singer Ilse Huizinga shows you how to improvise in an easy way.

In this course, you will only need to use your ears. You don't need to play an instrument or learn complicated scales. Yay!

You'll get loads of ideas, that you can use for your improvisation to other songs and jazz standards too.

For singers, improvisation is a different ballgame than for instrumentalists. We don't push buttons, press keys, or play strings to play a certain chord or note. We do most learning with our ears.

That's why Ilse developed Let's SCAT. Tailored for singers who don't play an instrument or read chords quickly.

Let's SCAT is a short course of 1 hour, packed with opportunities to practice yourself. You will learn or refresh your scat language, Ilse will show you ways to vary your timing and how to play with the melody. You will also scat with Ilse, in the 'trading fours' section.

In all lectures, you can practice yourself, be it through singing along to Ilse's examples, or by scatting a chorus yourself.

Start expressing yourself freely!

Lots of shu-be-du-lya to you. Let's SCAT!
