I loved the How to Make a Jazz Chant video. It really is easy to do. After I couldn’t get ‘baseball, basketball, golf’ out of my head, I knew it was time to try some jazz chants in my classes. Well, I did this week, and they were a success. I am not a good singer, and have no musical talent, but the formula provide in the video was so simple that even I could do it.

Cheers,

Kev

Yes, Anna, I had this dream that told me you would appreciate this post

So many of us have favorite Carolyn chants and songs! One of the (many) things that impresses me about Carolyn is that if you do a search on YouTube, you find pages of classes around the world performing her work.

I think the publication of Jazz Chants was one of those turning point moments in EFL. You can clearly see a division–EFL before Jazz Chants and EFL after. Not many professionals can claim that sort of influence, can they?

Glad you found it useful. I’d love to hear what your students come up with if they create their own chants.
