Vocal Improvisation & Scat Singing: Building Spontaneous Vocal Solos

What Is Scat Singing?

Scat singing is vocal improvisation using nonsensical rhythmic syllables (e.g., *Doo-Bah, Bop-Bam, Shoo-Bee-Doo*) to treat the human voice like a solo trumpet or saxophone!

Improvising Using Minor Pentatonic Scales

Start by singing 5-note minor pentatonic scales over a blues backing track, creating short call-and-response vocal phrases.
