About the Author

Barbara Stewart began kazooing at the age of three. She has performed on The Tonight Show and with George Carlin, Frank Zappa, and PDQ Bach. Her triumph as a kazooist prompted the Smithsonian to request her concert kazoo, which now resides in the permanent music collection. She lives in Fairport, New York.

From the Back Cover

KEEP AMERICA HUMMING

The users guide and practitioners manual that contains more helpful information on the kazoo than you may have thought possible.

The instrument itself has no musical capabilities, so everything depends on the kazooist. If you can hum, sing, or talk, you can successfully kazoo. Just remember: Hum. Don't blow.

Including:

  • Practice exercises for dynamics & breath control
  • Several methods of achieving fry tones & vibrato
  • A whole panopoly of noises, tunes, calls & snorts
  • The techniques for Jazz, Country & Western, 50s Rock & Symphonic kazooing.
