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.
