Program Detail

Scat Cat Sessions

Intro to Jazz — legends, sounds, rhythms & improvisation

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing…


An introduction to vocal improvisation in jazz (aka Scat Singing) for all ages through both collective and individual exploration. Featuring the works of jazz greats Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and of course Ella Fitzgerald — as they relate to other popular music we all know and love. For more advanced students the discussion expands to exploration of harmony, rhythm and traditional jazz structures as well.
