There’s a whole lot of ways you can start learning JAZZ VOCAL IMPROVISATION. Singing scales, arpeggios, 2-5-1s, transcribing, and the list goes on. I bring you one of the most efficient and simple ways to practice and learn.
19 phrases introduced in “Call & Response“. I sing a 2 bar phrase, you repeat, I sing again, you repeat again and we go on to the next phrase.
Using your ears to learn and practice is essential for a vocalist since a vocalist lacks any keys or buttons to create sound. Use your beautiful set of ears for learning some standard phrases.

My name is Tak Iwasaki, Jazz Vocalist Arranger/Creator, and Educator. I’ve always wanted to create a video channel that focuses deeply into Jazz Vocal Improvisation. My goal is to design a training method specialized for a vocalist, in other words, “How efficient(easy) can a vocalist learn how to improvise?“.
Most approaches for learning Jazz improvisation are mapped out from an instrumentalist point of view, which is not all that wrong but sometimes incompetent for a vocalist that lacks keys/buttons for creating sound.
For an instrumentalist, learning jazz improvisation involves tremendous hours of repetitive practice until you get everything under your fingers, so that one can make instant reaction to the music. The reaction needs both a trained ear to hear in the mind what you want to play, and also for your body to respond to incorporate what you desired to play.
In comparison, a vocalist is not required to have anything under their fingers, but is preferred a highly trained ear (since you can’t rely on keys/buttons), and a set of vocal folds that react to its demands of the brain/mind. Thus, the majority of training/learning and practice for a vocal-improviser should be heavily relying on the ear. There will be a series of videos coming up involving a lot of listening, singing along, rhythm exercises and a bit of essential chord instrument usage.
