Need Some Choir Warmups

This product focuses on just two things:

#1 How to effectively Warmup a choir

Everyone knows warming up the voice is important, and it is perhaps more important than with any other instrument, as the instrument is part of the human body. Just how do you warm up to make it possible to sing higher notes, sustain longer breaths and manage difficult passages? Plus good and effective warm-ups create a sense of unity in the choir, and a feeling of common purpose and achievement.

#2 How to make Choir Rehearsals FUN!

Having good warm-ups will make a great start to making your choir rehearsals enjoyable for the students. If students enjoy the rehearsals and have a positive experience, then guess what? They’ll come back! Retaining numbers in choir is absolutely essential, and there is no better way than making sure that the outcome of every rehearsal is a positive experience for the choristers.

In this book there are 50 pages, jam packed with ideas and practical exercises that you can use to warm-up your choir. It is an instant download ebook (nothing needs to be shipped to you), that you can print out or read on your computer.
