4 Best Choral Warm Up Resources

If you are like most choir directors one of the things you do everyday and even multiple times a day if you teach multiple classes is Warm-ups. Here are the best 4 warm up resources that I have found.


      1. The Complete Choral Warm-Up Book By Robinson, Russell/ Althouse, Jay 



This is a great book full of lots of different warm up exercises. Great resource when you are tired of doing the same old Warm-Up all day every day. Pick one and change it up.

     2. Pop Warm-Ups and Work-Outs for Guys



Unchanged, changing or changed male singers in middle school and high school may need a little extra help in "finding" their singing voices. Roger Emerson has developed a series of warm-ups that use excerpts from classic rock and roll tunes that will provide the motivation and repetition they need to do just that. Each song features limited ranges; the pattern starts in a moderate range and gradually ascends into the tenor range and descends through the bass range as needed. The professionally-produced CD recording presents each exercise with vocals so your guys have a model to emulate. Exercises are based on the following songs: The Addams Family Theme; Theme from "Jaws;" Jump, Jive an' Wail; Land of a Thousand Dances; Mission: Impossible Theme; Na Na Hey Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye; Shake, Rattle and Roll; Smoke on the Water; We Will Rock You.

3. Evoking Sound Choral Warm-up Method, Procedures, Planning And Core Vocal Exercises


This book is more than just good choral warm-ups it is a text book on how to use Choral Warm-Ups to truly make your choir better. I am a big fan of James Jordan and this book is what got me hooked.


Probably my favorite resource of all is the Video Camera feature on my iphone. I am that guy at Regionals or All-State standing at the back of the room recording the clinician. Especially during warm ups. I found early on that I would learn lots of great things from watching other directors but would forget most by the time I got back to my class room. That's where my camera on my phone came in and has saved me. Now I have those resources to reference.

Guitar player thwarts plane hijacking

Can you believe that the most unlikely of heroes actually saved that day? I should add this guy to my ongoing series of personal guitar heroes. So who is the mystery man? Well, he's not that big of a mystery!


Chris Llewellyn who is the guitarist for the hip hop artist Asher Roth was on a plane Wednesday that was headed for Los Angeles, when a bit of a ruckus broke out. Apparently a very disgruntled man had all he could take, and shoved a stewardess to the ground. It didn't stop their, as the man claimed to have a bomb, and rushed to the exit door, making an attempt to open it in mid flight. Llewellyn heard the commotion, saw what was going on, and acted.

The 26 year old guitar player tackled the disturbed Delta passenger, and with the help of several other passengers, restrained the man until the plane could safely land. Soon after the man was taken into custody, and no bomb was found on the plane, but thanks to the efforts of Chris and other passengers aboard the Delta plane, any other troubles were quickly avoided. However, the man was not restrained in a perfect scenario. Chris told the Los Angeles Times that everyone was struggling to keep the man pinned, because he was acting insane.

Talk about a hero!
