/24-7PressRelease/ -- Berklee College voice professor and soul/jazz recording artist, Gabrielle Goodman, has recently released her debut book entitled "Vocal Improvisation" (Techniques is Jazz, R&B and Gospel Improvisation). This exciting vocal instruction book has garnered high praise from everyone including the legendary, Roberta Flack.
"Leave it to Gabrielle Goodman, seasoned pro that she is, to come with all of the answers for aspiring singers. It is her generous nature, having worked with so many musicians and being a great one herself, that makes it easy for her to "give it up". She holds nothing back. This is not a scanner, but a guide to improved performance and an understanding of the singing voice of others and most importantly one's own. Thanks Ms. Goodman. Can't wait for the next installment!" said Roberta Flack.
