Can we not use the scat system to count beats? I just can’t feel the 1&a&e.
I am an adult trying to learn rhythm and Harr’s counting method just isn’t doing it for me. I would love to just scat rhythms like Louis Armstrong used to do. Is there a syllable counting system based on the scat syllables I can use? If not, some one needs to write one based on a limited set of well know scat syllables for a full set of note combinations for beginners. Something that will work in various music genres.
Heck, I’ll collaborate in the writing part. I got some talent to produce nice edited work.

Have you seen my books: Scat! Vocal Improvisation Techniques and Blues Scatitudes? They might be what you're looking for.
