The Music Center's Artsource® Curriculum Robert, Bobby and Brenda McFerrin

Robert, Bobby and Brenda McFerrin Artsource Unit

McFerrin to the Power of Three

The McFerrins are a family of singers who have all pursued their careers individually.  However, on this special occasion they came together to celebrate their family and to combine talents in a variety of ways.  Fortunately, a video was made so these performances can be revisited. The lessons expand a student's experience with music, from scat singing to spirituals, and from musical theatre to opera.  Students are encouraged to add several different kinds of sounds as an accompaniment to songs and to experiment with scat-singing.  Also, students will learn how African American singers established themselves in Opera.  The themes of Transformation, Enduring Values and The Human Family are emphasized.
