The Complete Choral Warm-Up Sequences represents the first truly pedagogically sequenced collection of choral warm-ups in print and the culmination of work begun three decades ago by Frauke Haaseman and James Jordan. The goal of these twenty sequenced choral warm-ups is to build vocal technique and enduring musical skill in ensembles, regardless of age or experience. By synthesizing the most essential elements of the best-selling book The Choral Warm-Up, authors James Jordan and Jesse Borower assemble a practical and easy-to-use resource for conductors and teachers. The warm-up sequences provide a daily “diet” of vocal technique development based onthe latest research in voice science coupled with exercises to develop intonation and audiation according to the principles of Edwin E. Gordon’s Music Learning Theory. This package includes a book for conductors, a book for accompanists, and links to important online audio and video downloads. Written in an easy-to-use format for choral conductors, this valuable resource is a rich collection of cutting-edge pedagogy and the latest in voice science. Features include: An introduction and concise overview of choral and vocal pedagogy Vocal exercises composed within a harmonic context, designed to strengthen each singer’s audiational skill while training legato, register consistency, range extension, and more Concise descriptions of what to listen for in each exercise and solutions to remedy common vocal issues Aural Immersion Exercises that will quickly attune an ensemble to the modality needed for any repertoire Chants that will heighten both the essential musicianship of each singer and the sensitivity of the ensemble as a whole Entire warm-up sequences designed to prepare a stylistically appropriate sound for multiple genres while developing real and enduring vocal and musical skill.

This book of versatile, pedagogically based choral warm-ups helps conductors take full advantage of this important time in every rehearsal, providing tools for assessment, musicianship, and ensemble unity at the same time singers are warming up their voices. The exercises in Aligning Voices are organized into nine chapters, each focusing on a different area of choral technique: Rhythm Brilliance Intonation Balance Dynamics Consonants Beginning Consonants Diphthongs and Ending Consonants Vowels Each warm-up contains two or more parts, allowing the director to work toward improving choral sound in a texture similar to that of the repertoire. Moreover, author Dean Luethi provides every warm-up in three voicings—SATB, SSAA, and TTBB—and sequentially organizes them by difficulty level. In addition, each section begins by defining the objective for each exercise and offering practical solutions for many of the common challenges choirs face in each area. A companion student edition that contains only the music notation for each warm-up exercise is also available (G-9692S). These exercises go well beyond simply warming up the voice. This resource is a must-have for all choral directors looking to make the most of their warm-up time. Dean Luethi is Associate Professor and Director of the School of Music at Washington State University. In addition to his work at the university, he is a frequently sought after conductor, adjudicator, and clinician, and he has been published in the Choral Journal and Music Educators Journal.
