This is the first time I've actually been able to "get" riffs and runs! Thank you sooooooooo much ❤

@msjaave8433 3 жыл бұрын

Wow!! Thank you!! I am completely SHOCKED at the sound and riffs coming out of my mouth right now. I've searched videos and followed along many many times, but this is the first time I have ever been able to hear myself do a riff. I really appreciate you taking the time to run through these slowly and repeatedly. Amazing!!

I took choir in school for 5 years. I never learned this! I like to sing jazz but I've never thought I needed riffs and runs, boy was I wrong! I love this! Thank you for helping me understand. Your awesome ! 😊👏

So happy to help! We don't think of scatting and jazz stylization as riffs/runs, but there's definitely a shared skill set there!

You are a terrific educator. I appreciate that you showed the riffs/runs in several ways; by the numbers and the letter names, then did several repetitions both in slow and then sped up. Thank you very much! You have such a lovely voice - rich in the lower chest tones & clear & pretty in the higher tones. 😃👍🏼💛
