Habits of a Successful Choral Musician - Student Edition by GIA Publications, 72 pages, includes exercises for vocal development and artistry.

Habits of a Successful Choral Musician is a field-tested, vital, and - most important - musical collection of more than 200 sequenced exercises for building fundamentals and artistry.

Perfect for use by an entire choir or soloist, this book contains carefully sequenced warm-ups, vocalises, chorales, rhythm work, tonal paterns, sight-singing etudes, and much more. In one place, this book presents everything an aspiring singer needs to build fundamental musicianship skills and then be able to transfer those skills directly into the performance of great literature.

Habits of a Successful Choral Musician: • Provides material for use during fundamentals time that promotes a comprehensive approach to developing skills necessary to fill the musical toolbox. • Includes a sequential format that leads to the mastery of reading rhythms and, ultimately, to musical sight-singing. • Provides chorales and other ensemble exercises for the development of tone quality, ensemble sonority, and musicianship. • Includes partner songs, folk songs, and rounds to develop harmony skills. • Combines pedagogy, literacy, fundamentals development, sight-singing, and musicianship into one book under one cover. • Promotes the idea that technique and artistry are not taught in silos but are simultaneously taught as students build capacity in both areas.

Habits of a Successful Choral Musician is the answer to the question, "What should I be learning during fundamentals time?"
