Jazz Improvisation Ear Training Exercise
I used to do this exercise with my singing teachers when I was learning and I always loved doing it, so I hope you enjoy it just as much!
This exercise will help you to develop your jazz scat syllables as well as riffs that you can draw on when you’re improvising.
Don’t sing jazz? Still do the exercise – its a brilliant ear trainer.
