| Summary |
"For the past twenty-five years Alice Parker has been developing a method of teaching musicians to participate skillfully in vocal improvisation. The musical materials are folk-songs and folk-hymns from all over the world. The first step is learning to sing them by rote, for ear values rather than eye values. Then the groups of two to five, the students, learn to try different 'answers' against the learned melody, gradually becoming proficient in trusting their ears and voices to keep them going."--Container. |
