Mr. Sutton will teach Intro to Vocal Improvisation. In this short class, participants will learn to create their own authentic vocal improvisations using their own musical ability, quick absorption of jazz styles through listening to classic recordings, call & response with the instructor, and a crash course in traditional scat syllables.  Anyone who can sing can scat their own unique lines in minutes!  Previous vocal training not a requirement.
