Gotta Sing: Learn to Sing Multiple Genres is a great tool for the professional and novice singer alike. The CD focuses on what makes a singing style unique by combining vocal elements and ingredients in different ratios of placements and resonances. Each lesson is followed by a demonstration of three songs in different genres. The genres discussed are Alternative, Country, Jazz, Pop, R&B, and Rock. The song selections were chosen from hits within each specific genre. The works of Jefferson Airplane, Mariah Carey, Brenda Russell, Sarah McLachlan, Mary Blige, Michelle Branch, Etta James, Diana Krall, Sara Evans, Vanessa Carlton, Aretha Franklin, and Wynonna are highlighted and broken down into vocal components. All songs are performed by Amparo with the purpose of demonstrating to the listener that learning and adding new genres to their repertoire is possible. A worksheet is available for download to help the listener identify and score the stylistic changes within each sample song. |
