What choral conductor or soloist has not looked around for new ideas forwarming up the voice? Here are 200 suggestions all at once! And these c reative exercises do more than just warm up the voice: they help to relax the body, train the ear and develop an awareness of dynamics and rhythm. "Klaus Heizmann's collection is a wonderful new resource of ideas andtechniques: practical, varied, challenging, relaxing and stimulating. I am always looking for new ideas, as I like to use a different set of wa rm-ups at every rehersal with my choirs, and I tend to choose specific exercises to suit the repertoire for the day. This collection gives us 200 excellent "tools-of-the-trade"; they are clearly lebeled, intelligently set out, well-designed and extremely useful."
