The Voice in Progress: Developing the Adolescent Voice

Forty years ago, most vocal methods were aimed at high school students and up. These materials and methods remedy this situation and offer an excellent curriculum for the young voice. Fifty vocal warm-up exercises and online recorded piano accompaniments are included. Chapters include Building the Adolescent Voice - Why We Warm Up; Preparing the Adolescent Voice - How We Warm Up; Knowing the Adolescent Voice - Girls' Changing Voice and Boys' Changing Voice; and Exercising the Adolescent Voice – Treble Choirs, Mixed Choirs, Tenor-Bass Choirs. The warm-ups focus on breathing, beginning phonation, resonance, placement, tone quality and support, diction, intonation, flexibility, dynamics, and register transition. A helpful index directs you so you can combine the warm-ups most needed when you need them.
