The Classical Collective Choir Vocal Warmup Video Series

MP4 Video Files #1-5 & Reproducible PDF's

GIA Publications

Here is a comprehensive guide to teaching healthy vocal technique through designing an efficient choral warm-up that gives the choir "tools" to sing and hear better. Among the topics presented are alignment (using Alexander Body Mapping principles), inhalation, exhalation, support, resonance, vowel colors, leaps, range extension, crescendo/decrescendo, martellato, staccato, diction, rhythm and consistent tempo, and intonation. Vocalises are included, with accompaniments and modulations upward and downward. The 24 Core Vocal Exercises make up Chapter 20 of the text book, and are also featured on the attached CD. The soft-cover Accompanist Supplement includes the 24 Core Vocal Exercises, piano accompaniments complete with modulations, and the same demonstration CD that comes with the text. This is much more than a choral warm-up book!

Unison/Mixed Book & Enhanced CD

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

One-Minute Sight Singing teaches and reinforces the essentials of solfege-based sight singing without cutting into valuable rehearsal time. The curriculum, structured as a collection of one-minute lessons, targets students of all ages who are new to sight singing. It also serves as an ideal component to the regular choral warm-up routine for singers of all experience levels. Singers who are new to music reading and theory will appreciate the helpful reminders interspersed before new concepts are introduced in the music. The careful progression of lessons ensures that singers will gain a solid mastery of sight singing, movable "Do" solfege, and Curwen hand symbols. One-Minute Sight Singing is uniquely designed with exercises duplicated in both treble and bass clefs. Not only does this help singers learn to read and sight sing in both clefs, but directors may also use the unison exercises to help improve tuning and breath support. A great choice for school, youth, community, and church choirs!
