VOCAL TECHNIQUE RESOURCES Althouse, Jay; Robinson, Russel. The Complete Choral Warm-Up Book. USA.

Alfred Publishing Co., Inc. Print. This book is to be used in a choral settingwhether that is church choir, school choir, choirs of all ages, etc. The book contains 211 warm-ups that even give instructional tips on how to best use the warm-ups. The warm-ups are divided into eight categories: warm-ups to begin the rehearsal, transitional warm-ups, warm-ups with fun texts and syllables, choral warm-ups, warm-ups featuring interval training, jazz/pop/swing warm-ups just for church choirs, and rounds. There are also three chapters containing several photos explaining proper posture and vowel formation. This book is a great tool for any choral director. I would use this book because it is straightforward and has warm-ups for all kinds of situations. Haasemann, Frauke; Jordan, James M. Group Vocal Technique. Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Hinshaw Music, Inc. 1991. Print. This book is intended to be used in group settings and focuses on the specifics of vocal technique. The book starts off with an overview of the foundations of vocal technique. The book then moves into the specifics of relaxation and posture, resonance, respiration, and vocal anatomy. Dynamics, messa di voce, register consistency, range extension, leaps, legato/staccato, and diction are all given their own chapters. The book then moves on to discuss marking the score, auditioning singers, literature, and conducting. I would use the information from this book in my classroom. I could definitely use some of the exercises they used for posture, expression, legato, diction, etc.

MUSIC LITERACY RESOURCES Telfer, Nancy. Successful Sight Singing: A Creative, Step by Step Approach . San Diego, CA: N.A. Kjos Music, 1992. Print. This book is wonderful for beginners or singers who have been sight singing for years. This book is great review for singers who maybe even just need a refresher. The books contain exercises for two-part or unison and incorporates key signature and time signatures. The exercises have tips and reminders scattered about to help the students be successful. The exercises introduce new topics and reinforce previous information in a logical manner. I would definitely use these exercises in my classroom for a quick, but effective sight singing exercise. Ester, D.P. (2005). Sound Connections: A comprehensive approach to teaching music literacy. USA. Don P. Ester. Print.

This book is full of information in regards to 'Sound Before Symbol' with instructional content on tonal and rhythm exercises. Sound Connections provides a comprehensive and detailed sequence of instruction in both the book and Resource Binder. Dr. Ester uses a tonal overlay approach through the use of movable-do solfege and uses a breakthrough rhythmic syllable system, Takadimi. This book works toward a systematic teaching of music literacy that produces well-rounded and advanced musicians at an early age. I will definitely be using the ideas of this book in my classroom. Having read the book, I am already implementing concepts and strategies into my lesson plans
