Product description

Lucy Hollins and Suzzie Vango are evangelical about the power of proper warm-ups and the magic they can work on the sound of any choir. Decades spent vocal coaching, conducting and leading choirs have given them both an unrivaled command of other people's vocal folds!

This resource is not just another warm-up book - it is the ultimate warm-up book! It contains everything a choir leader needs to improve the sound quality and vocal health of their choir. For those starting out, it gives first-rate tips and ideas about vocal technique. The "Why we do this?" sections increase depth of understanding and knowledge for everyone, regardless of experience.

The book starts with an introduction to the importance of vocal warmups - not only for improving the sound of your choir and for vocal health but also for physical and mental well-being. Warm-ups also provide an opportunity to gather focus, create a positive environment, and boost camaraderie.

The innovative "flaps" section of the book allows the choir director to mix and match the warm-ups from three sections: Movement & Alignment, Breathing & Airflow, and Vocalisation. The exercises comprise science, experience, practical advice, and a whole lot of humour. Lucy & Suzzie understand how important it is for choir leaders to not only know how to do the exercises but also why we do them, so a clear and concise explanation is given for each exercise.

The other elements in this book will make extremely beneficial additions to your warm-ups. There are great tips and chord progressions for accompaniments to vocal exercises and the energising exercises in the Brain Workout section will help develop cognitive agility and are certain to help must energy and focus should you experience a rehearsal slump!

At the back of the book are twenty songs that can be incorporated into your warm-up session. Some of them could also be used in a performance. Thirteen of these songs can be photocopied to use with your choir.
