n Patterns Of Sound #1Eilers-Bacak/Crocker. Two of America's
most respected choral educators have combined their years of
experience to design a powerful, effective sight-reading method
for treble voices in elementary and early middle school. The
concepts of rhythm and pitch are introduced separately at the
beginning, but always within the context of measures so that
exercises are musically interesting. Exercises that illustrate and
reinforce each concept are combinable, so harmonic interest is
introduced at an early stage, building rhythmic independence and
better intonation. The result...painless part singing. One of the most
important features of this method is the inclusion of actual songs,
arranged with accompaniments, words and dynamics. The logical
sequencing and careful reinforcement of musical concepts lead
naturally to a broad musical understanding. Student confidence
levels stay high because they really understand what they are doing.

n The Perfect BlendTimothy Seelig. From the basics of posture
and breathing to the final bow of your concert, The Perfect Blend
takes you on an entertaining ride through vocal and choral technique.
The book is full of warm-ups, old and new. It is organized in two
parts: The Voice and The Choir. Its fresh, physical approach to
singing focuses on vocal and choral tone; vocal and choral
technique. The author asks, "Who should read this book? Anyone
who sings; anyone who conducts; anyone whose warm-ups need
a B-12 shot; anyone who is interested in new ways to approach
vocal study; anyone looking for rehearsal tips; anyone who is open
to new programming ideas; my Mom." Timothy Seelig's humorous
writing style is an absolute delight to read!
