Sing and Play-along Chord Changes Tracks in the Style of Jazz Standards

YOU SING JAZZ - Sing and Play Along Tracks

Chord changes only performed by a live rhythm section of piano, bass and drums in several different keys in the style of jazz standards.   Songs have intros and endings that make great performance tracks for singers, horn players or guitarists or just use them to practice your skills.   Songs in the style of certain standards that every jazz singer and instrumentalist should know arranged in traditional settings that provide a realistic idea of typical jazz performance settings.   Purchase the key that best suits your range or work in several different key changes.   If you are teacher and want to adjust to the range of your student in the jazz style get the entire set of keys.   Tracks were designed by both a singer and instrumentalist to get the best performance keys and arrangements. 

VOCAL BUILDERS - the Foundation: Step 1 - Ellen Johnson

Steps for Improving Singing and Ear Training
 
Each workout step helps to build vocal technique along with harmonic strength and identification. The purpose is to assist singers to become better musicians so that they can sing better, feel more confident and expand their skills.
 
The steps are divided into structures similar to building a house. 
• Step I -(The Foundation)
• Includes major, dorian and mixolydian scales; major, minor, diminished and augmented triads; major 7, dominant 7 and minor 7 chords

Each track has a specific scale, triad or chord to focus on with a particular vowel or vocal exercise sound.  As you practice the ear training exercise maintain the vowel sound, breath support, and connection to help strengthen your technique.   All exercises have a brief sung example and then you will sing along with either the piano or another instrument.  All are given in female ranges but can be sung down an octave for males.
