Vocal Exercises

This is a set of basic warm-up drills and exercises for soloists and choirs.

Feel free to use different syllables and/or text.

Sing legato or staccato or with varying articulations.

Try piano through forte, perhaps with crecendi and decrecendi.

Try a variety of tempi. Play with the standard western vowels or try as shown in the first exercise: mah-may-mee-moh-moo, tah-tay-tee-toh-too, la-lay-lee-loh-loo, sa-say-see-soh-soo, emphasizing consonants.

Progress upward and downward by 1/2 steps.

Play full chord before each sequence of 1/2 steps.

Mix it up.
