I (Stephanie) subscribe to a website called Choir Warmups. They’ve recently made all their warmup exercises free to download. Most are original and all are fun. Check it out! (The link opens in a new tab so you won’t lose your place here.)

- Sing with confidence, not just volume.Turn your pages early.Stay home when you’re sick.Engage your audience.Silence your phone!Arrive early to a show.Check your posture - face forward, not straining up or down.When the song ends, END IT. Watch for the cutoff.Smile when you sing!Count the rests - all of them!Keep your music in order.Learn your range and your change.Open your mouth to sing!Practise your music - any time, anywhere!Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.Eat healthy. Not too much, not too little.Listen to your neighbours, not just yourself.Follow your director.Learn some music terms.Watch your director.Read the Tips for Singers pages - lots of good info there!Keep hydrated. Room-temperature water is best.Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.
