HAPPY 2017!!!
I now bring to you the more advanced version of an exercise I shared a couple months ago. It marries technical work (register balance, legato, resonance) with style elements, namely developing the flexibility and aural awareness needed to do runs, riffs, and licks successfully. I have added a jump of a perfect fifth to the beginning of the scale run which increases the difficulty level a bit. Make sure to spend some time with the previous version in the “Agility and Style 3” post before undertaking this exercise. Be careful of not locking the jaw muscles or the tongue as you execute the fifth jump. Start slowly then work up to a faster tempo.
This exercise is very effective and a lot of fun…so have a good ol’ time with it.
Happy singing!!!
