What an inspirational afternoon in the Newport Scout Hall that was!! The question is: What can’t Mal Webb do with his vocal chords, lungs, diaphragm, mouth, face & nasal passage? He has introduced us to another world! Thank you from the bottom of our lungs!
Mal guided us through the art of jamming. Using the form of bass – rhythm – lead, we were soon jamming together with our voices, improvising marvellous compositions with each other. What fun! Percussion also played a strong part in our music together, all coming from our own mouths of course.
Each of us had the privilege of improvising our own songs, accompanied by the marvellous rhythmic sounds flowing from the throats of our friends. The key to the song compositions is to keep it simple when jamming with accompanying voices. Mal also taught us the critical skill of conducting the vocal orchestra when improvising these masterpieces. No baton or manuscripts, just strong and distinct gestures, plus an ear out for your fellow musicians.
Explore and have fun with your own creativity was the essence of this workshop. I know that waiting at the traffic lights will never be the same. Thankyou Mal.
