Abstract

This paper offers proven methods and techniques of organization and performance with the high school vocal jazz ensemble. Hopefully, these methods and techniques will assist the high school vocal jazz director, trained in traditional choral music or instrumental music, to develop a successful high school vocal jazz ensemble. Suggestions for selecting members, materials, equipment, and the costumes are offered. The intricacies of vocal jazz interpretation and performance are analyzed and equated with facets of traditional choral music, helping to paint a clearer picture of programming.
