Weekly Vocalize #13 Generic but Versatile

Date Posted: August 26th, 2008

This week’s vocalize is just like the title says, “generic but versatile”. It’s a combination of descending scales and arpeggios in the major mode. Very simple, but you can work on quite a few things with it. Check it out:

Here are just a few things you can do with this vocalize:

• Sing it fast with different consonants to work on annunciation
• Sing it slow to work on breath control
• Alter the rhythm to make it more complex
• Sing it using lip trills
• Add some Accents, Crescendos, and Decrescendos

I’m sure you can think of several more things to add to this list. Usual application rules apply. Enjoy!
