Sight-Singing and Warm-Ups
n One-Minute Sight SingingHolly Shaw-
Slabbinck & Ronald Slabbinck. One-Minute Sight
Singing teaches and reinforces the essentials
of solfege-based sight singing without cutting
into valuable rehearsal time. The curriculum,
structured as a collection of one-minute lessons,
targets students of all ages who are new to sight
singing. It also serves as an ideal component to
the regular choral warm-up routine for singers
of all experience levels. Singers who are new
to music reading and theory will appreciate
the helpful reminders interspersed before new
concepts are introduced in the music. The careful
progression of lessons ensures that singers will
gain a solid mastery of sight singing, movable
"Do" solfege, and Curwen hand symbols. One-
Minute Sight Singing is uniquely designed, with
exercises duplicated in both treble and bass clefs.
Not only does this help singers learn to read and
sight sing in both clefs, but directors may also
use the unison exercises to help improve tuning
and breath support. A great choice for school,
youth, community and church choirs!

n Patterns of SoundJoyce Eilers & Emily Crocker.
This is a powerful, effective sight-reading method for
elementary and early middle school treble voices.
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 Pop Warm-Ups and Workouts for Guys
Roger Emerson. 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.

n Sight Singing Made Accessible, Readable,
Teachable (Volume 1)Denise Eaton. Founded
on the premise that young singers tend to view
each key as a separate "language," this creative
approach to sight singing addresses the needs of
visual learners by organizing the treble and bass
clef exercises key by key. Volume 1 provides visual
orientation and melodies to sight read in seven
keys. Each section begins with the scale and
outlines the tonic chord for that key, followed by a
tonal drill. Students are introduced to the intervals
of seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths and sixths. The
Minor version was written to hone the reading skills
of advanced choirs and to provide preparatory
materials for the rehearsal and performance of
works in minor tonalities.

n Simon Carrington: the Empowered Choral
Rehearsal (A Masterclass for Conductors and
Choral Singers)James Jordan. To quote Simon
Carrington: "There's no such thing as a rehearsal!
Singers have the unique privilege of expressing
text and should do so every time a phrase is
sung." Simon Carrington spent 25 years with
The King's Singers, the internationally acclaimed
choral ensemble celebrated throughout the world
for achieving the highest levels of excellence in
singing. Now, in this phenomenal DVD, he brings
his wealth of experience as a choral conductor
to the mechanics of directing vocal ensembles.
Carrington's overriding passion for engaging
every singer in the ensemble is revealed in detail
as visionary choral educator James Jordan gives
Carrington the reins of The Westminster Williamson
Voices of Rider University's Westminster Choir
College. Sit with the ensemble and observe as
Carrington takes these highly trained singers
through two complete choral warm-ups, exercises
for ear development via the warm-up, rehearsal
procedures for Renaissance music, rehearsal
procedures for Romantic music, essentials of
choral diction, techniques for improving choral
intonation, achieving subtlety of text nuance,
balancing suspensions, achieving choral balance
within the ensemble, and listening techniques for
choirs. Always inspirational, Carrington is both kind
and demanding as he navigates the challenges
contained in the journey of any choral score. The
DVD comes with a detailed, printed outline of the
content as well as a discussion between Simon
Carrington and James Jordan regarding choral
rehearsal procedure. Whether used for private
study by conductors or for viewing by choral
ensembles to deepen their understanding of the
choral rehearsal process, Simon Carrington: the
Empowered Choral Rehearsal will show you how to
empower your rehearsals and your singers!

"
I am truly amazed. I was frantic when our CD broke yesterday...
it was AFTER 4:20 (eastern) when I called in the order. e CDs
arrived by Fed Ex first thing this morning. I just wish EVERY
business had customer service that compared with JW Pepper!"
