A Voice Lesson From Bobby McFerrin

This is pretty cool. Jazz vocalist Bobby McFerrin gives a lesson in how to do what he does. Of course, not many singers can do that (he's certainly one of a kind), but he gives a few exercises on how to get started. Plus, he's really entertaining during the process.

The Power Of The Pentatonic Scale

This is a fabulous video. It's vocalist Bobby McFerrin at the World Science Festival teaching the pentatonic scale to the audience in a unique way. Granted, there are probably a lot of musicians in the audience, but watch how the audience fills in the notes by themselves.

As McFerrin states at the end of the video, "No matter where I'm at, every audience seems to get it for some reason." I guess you don't have to be a musician or music student after all. It's something that's inherent in all of us.

Check it out. It's short, fun and borderline amazing.
