Here is an ideal collection of warm-up exercises for the vocal jazz ensemble, specifically designed to enhance and foster the vocal and choral skills of each member. By treating the warm-up as a “mini voice lesson,” you can reinforce key concepts through consistent encouragement, constructive feedback, problem-solving, and praise. This practical resource will assist the conductor in providing effective leadership and nurturing artistry in each individual through exercises that incorporate styles such as Swing, Latin, and Rock, utilizing solfége and scat syllables, as well as focusing on tone and blend in ballad style. Each exercise is accompanied by a notated keyboard part featuring various modulations, along with professional recordings of a rhythm section and vocalists performing each drill, accessible online via a unique code found in the book. The audio can be streamed or downloaded, and includes PLAYBACK+, a versatile audio player that enables you to slow down the audio without altering the pitch, set loop points, change keys, and adjust the audio balance.
