Each exercise in this invaluable resource is designed to reinforce fundamental vocal concepts for choral and solo singers of any age.
Organized in 11 focused categories, the purpose of every warm-up is evident, and clearly-stated directions optimize growth.
Supportive piano accompaniments, including progressive modulations, are lightly-orchestrated on the enclosed recording---perfect for ensemble rehearsals, studio lessons, or at-home practice.
As an added bonus, PDF files on the enhanced CD provide extracted vocal lines on reproducible singer pages.
An instructional book you will use again and again! Topics include: beginning warm-ups, posture, vowels, breath support, tone quality, diction, dynamics, articulations, diphthongs, blend, scales, intervals, harmony, and more.
The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.
