FORMATION OF JAZZ IMPROVISATION SKILLS AMONG VOCAL STUDENTS IN THE COURSE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Abstract

The article reveals a problem of formation of improvisation skills among vocal students, where improvisation is considered as the most effective method of teaching jazz vocals. The analysis of practical methods of formation of stable skills of jazz improvisation, as well as stylistic features of pop-jazz vocals is carried out. Special attention is paid to the problem of the formation of the “swing” performance technique, its significance for a jazz vocalist. The formation of skat improvisation skills is based on the development of the phrasing “off-beat”; repetition of individual swing melodic phrases for the teacher; copying the solos of jazz masters, vocalists and instrumentalists; the ability to apply the knowledge gained in the field of harmonic logical chain to create your own improvisation. There are several main components that will help the vocalist understand the principles of learning scat improvisation and master the stylistic features of jazz vocals (paradoxical sound, low intonation, off-beat technique).
