WARM-UP RECORDINGS:
Stay in shape! The voice is like a muscle - it needs exercise. I highly recommend beginning with the "Breathing" video first, followed by either "Warm Up #1" or "Warm Up #2" - perhaps rotating these two vocalization videos. Add in the "Solfege Exercises" for extra vocal (and brain!) training. Try to sing 3 to 4 times per week.

VIRTUAL CHOIR PROJECTS
Here you can find a continuous rotation of projects throughout the Fall 2020 semester. For Audio Only projects, record your voice singing while you listen to the Guide Track for each song. Record yourself while using headphones so that only your voice is recorded. (For Video projects, you'll get more specific instructions from me.) You may e-mail your recordings to me at mark@firstuu.org, or, you are also welcome to upload them to this Google Drive folder:
