Warm-ups
Are you worried about getting your choir to hit the high notes of a song? Unsure about whether or not the choir's vowels will be unified? A good warm-up can make or break a rehearsal.
ALWAYS start rehearsal with a 5-10 minute warm up. Use this as an opportunity to develop pitch matching skills, unify the choir's vowels and consonants, and loosen up some vocal muscles. Regularly starting with a warm-up will train your choir to focus and condition them to get into a choral mindset.
The following .pdf file is a short warm-up of downloads. Make sure to give these to your accompanist before rehearsal so he or she can practice moving them up by half steps.
