Performing
ideas
-
Listen and
follow the 'Sol-fah Jazz' whilst it is being played.
-
Try singing the 'Sol-fah Jazz' in small groups first with the notation and
then from memory.
-
Sing the upper tune and the lower tune. Then sing
both together.
Arranging and composing ideas
-
Perform the
composition with your own vocal sounds.
-
Copy the notation with your own sounds so you can remember it.
-
Someone in
the group could add chords or play the tune.
-
You could
clap or click an ostinato or someone could sing a drone.
-
Can you
think of other ways to arrange 'Sol-Fah Jazz'?
-
After each
practice performance, you should discuss possible improvements.
E.g. changing the dynamic, numbers of players
An A
- Z of Jazz scat sounds

ACTIVITY:
Make up your own composition.
- Use the pitches doh, re,
me (C, D, E) and the jazz scat
sounds.
Make changes
until you like it. Is it loud quiet? Is it fast or slow? What is the mood?
