SCAT FOR CATSSM
|
Do you know that every BODY is a musician? Do you realize you don't even need an instrument to make music?
By the end of her nationally renowned Scat for CatsSM workshop, vocalist Jenna Mammina has students convinced they are indeed musicians, and their voices and bodies are the only instruments they need. With a warm and engaging personality, Jenna uses call and response techniques to help get kids get to know their own unique voices. Whether imitating a horn or a snare drum, snapping their fingers, or stomping their feet, kids joyfully learn to use their whole bodies to make music.
Scat is the art of creating vocal improvisation. It doesn't rely on identifiable words, but rather on nonsense syllables to imitate the tone and style of jazz instruments. Jenna's Scat for CatsSM work includes an instrumentalist. Together, they inspire young people to take that risk and sing. 
This leads to small-group vocalizing and an introduction to acappela singing. By session's end, the group may have even written a song together! And if there are any rappers in the group, Jenna can show them that rap and scat are very close cousins.
Scat for CatsSM workshops work best with students from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in groups of 40 or less. The class lasts approximately 45 minutes and Jenna can comfortably work 4 sessions per day. This program is wonderful for all children because music is an amazing gift that transcends all social, economic, and ethnic barriers and speaks to the soul!
