Evoking Sound: The Complete Choral Warm-up Sequences
The Complete Choral Warm-Up Sequences represents the first truly pedagogically sequenced collection of choral warm-ups in print and the culmination of work begun three decades ago by Frauke Haaseman and James Jordan. The goal of these 20 sequenced choral warm-ups is to build vocal technique and enduring musical skill in ensembles, regardless of age or experience. By synthesizing the most essential elements of the best-selling book Evoking Sound: The Choral Warm-Up, authors James Jordan and Jesse Borower assemble a practical and easy-to-use resource for conductors and teachers. The warm-up sequences provide a daily diet of vocal technique development based on the latest research in voice science coupled with exercises to develop intonation and audiation according to the principles of Edwin E. Gordon’s Music Learning Theory. This package includes a book for conductors, a book for accompanists, and links to important online audio and video downloads. Written in an easy-to-use format for choral conductors, this valuable resource is a rich collection of cutting-edge pedagogy and the latest in voice science.
