Day #2 of the October Playbook Challenge<\/a> reads: Scat-Singing!<\/p>\n

WHAT IS SCAT? To put it simply, Scat is the improvised singing of nonsense syllables in jazz music, similar to an instrumental jazz solo. You use your voice to sing words that you invent.<\/p>\n

When I saw this challenge last night, I was stumped momentarily…Scat-singing is not something we do on a daily basis so some inspiration is needed…Daddy had introduced Jazz to Dana and she enjoyed it so I am keen to ride on this challenge to try scat-singing with our spunky girl. I managed to unearth a title from Dana’s book shelf belonging to the awesome Baby Loves Jazz<\/b><\/a> series. With this handy resource,  Dana and I had a goofy afternoon scat-singing (or rather attempting to)! <\/p>\n

Ella Elephant Scats like That!  <\/b>Listen to an excerpt of the scat-singing <\/span>here<\/a>. <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

For parents who are game, you can start with this simple activity of ‘Echo Scat’.<\/span><\/b> Parent sings the scat (from the choice of scat words below) and the child echoes! You can then reverse roles and let the child lead. The family can sing and move to the rhythm of scat words. <\/div>\n

ECHO SCAT<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

(One person leads; others echo<\/i>.)<\/p>\n

DOOBY – BIP – WAP –  SCOO – SHOOBY<\/b><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>WOOBY – BOP – WOP – DIDDLEY – SKIDDLEY<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>SCOOBY – BUM – BAM – DO-DAT – WAH-WAH<\/span>   <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
CALL & RESPONSE<\/b> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(One person leads; others respond with a different scat word.<\/i>)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Once everyone is more comfortable, you can proceed on to another variation – ‘Call & Response’<\/span><\/b> (parent calls; child responds with a different scat word).   It’s really fun, try it! We’ll try to post a video of Dana’s scat-singing soon! <\/p>\n
