Introduction
A Philosophy of Learning
What are the most important aspects of a warmup session?
How is this book different from Book 1 of Successful Warmups?
Should I be training my singers' voices or educating the singers themselves about vocal production?
How can I teach aesthetics to my singers?
Some of my singers already have great voices. How will these warmups help them?
How can I teach individual singers within a choral context?
Should the singers memorize the warmups?
What are the advantages of a structured approach to vocal production for choirs?
How should the warmup session relate to the choral repertoire?
What should I do if there are warmups left over at the end of the year?
Pedagogy
How do the singers learn new concepts or skills?
How do singers retain what they have learned?
How can I, as a conductor/teacher, use my own eyes and ears to advantage?
Being Prepared for Different Choral Situations
How do I adjust SATB warmups for the voicing of my choir?
What differences will I find when I switch from adult to children's choirs?
What should I do when new singers join the choir?
For an auditioned choir, how should I choose singers?
