Why do vocal warm-ups???

   It's just like if you were to play a sport or take a dance class....... you have to stretch first. Our way of stretching is to sing scales. Vocal warm-ups help you stretch out your vocal range, add flexibility and help you with ear training! Some students love doing the warm -ups and some want their first song to be their warm-up. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T HAVE YOUR FIRST SONG BE YOUR WARM -UP. Just the thought makes my head hurt!!!! You never know who's in your audience. You're lucky if you get 30 seconds of someones ear time. Your first song needs to be as strong as your last. Think about it.......
