The 1-3-5 Essential Choral Exercises
(The Essentials of the Choral Warm-Up:
Science, Method, and Pedagogy)—John
Frederick Hudson & James Jordan. James
Jordan has been at the forefront of choral
pedagogy for over 35 years. His landmark
publications under the guidance of Frauke
Haasemann have afforded him a front row
seat to the development of choral warm-up
pedagogy. His studies in the psychology of
music with Edwin Gordon have allowed him
to marry the pedagogy of the choral warm-up
with music learning theory. His text, The
Choral Warm-Up, shared the pedagogical
method for building healthy choral sound with
teachers around the world. This book shares
the exercises that have been at the core of
vocal pedagogy for the choirs at Westminster
Choir College: the Chapel Choir; the Schola
Cantorum; Westminster Williamson Voices;
the Symphonic Choir; and Westminster Choir
as well as his professional ensemble, The
Same Stream. The revolutionary sequence
of the efficient exercises in this book, while
they appear simple, fold voice science and
music learning theory into the choral warm-up
by refocusing choral ensemble warm-up
pedagogy on tongue position and the inner
architecture of vowels. Using only the triadic
1-3-5 provides a consistent pedagogy for
vocal health for every ensemble, creating
beautiful choral blend, accurate intonation,
and a humanly centered sound for choirs at
all levels.

Sharon J. Paul. Drawing from a range of
scientific studies to suggest and encourage
effective, evidence-based techniques, this
book can help to reset and inspire new
approaches toward teaching. Each chapter
outlines exercises and creative ideas for
conductors and music teachers, including the
importance of embedding problem solving
into rehearsal, the use of multiple entry points
for newly acquired information, techniques
to encourage an emotional connection to
the music, and ways to incorporate writing
exercises into rehearsal. Additional topics
include brain-compatible teaching strategies to
complement thorough score study, the science
behind motivation, the role imagination plays
in teaching, the psychology of rehearsal,
and conducting tips and advice. All of these
brain-friendly strategies serve to encourage
singers' active participation in rehearsals, with
the goal of motivating beautiful, inspired, and
memorable performances.
