INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO SING

THE SONG

The backing track has 2 forms

Sing both forms or pick one.

​

Form 1: Lead Melody

Do it in your own style,

Relaxed and with pleasure.

Use the English lyrics

that I prevent in the video.

If the key does not fit,

do octaving here and there or

vary the lead melody.

​

Form 2: Improvisation

Do a scat solo, let it all out.

Think as an instrument

and release some bold lines.

Don't overthink,

all levels are welcome.

​

Not there now?

Just add some beautiful long notes that you sing with good breath control.
