40 Fun Warm-Ups Using Songs from Across the United States. Keeping singers in our ensembles excited and energized during the warm-up process is a consistent hurdle for educators across the nation. By using songs that are indigenous to different parts of our country, teachers in choral classrooms can help students prepare their minds, bodies and voices while sharing a bit of our culture and history from different areas of the United States. All of the songs can be used with both inexperienced beginners and advanced singers. The lesson suggestions introduced with each song are intended to be aspringboard for teachers to modify and adapt to their own students' needs and skill levels. Each melody includes strategies that are accessible for those who are just learning how to use their voices, and also for those more sophisticated singers who enjoy a good challenge.

Par BIGI-DIS. Created by Dominique Bigi-dis, The C-E Songs is a set of twenty nine songs for really young children from two to six years old. Ideal for school use, they refer to important periods happening during the year such as autumn, school, winter, Christmas, summer and they are very easy to sing (with a small range and easy intervals). The book is also really attractive for children as the tunes are enjoyable and all the pictures are in black and white, to be coloured-in. The C-E Songs can be used in a really fun way or more professionally, to help the children discover music and music theory (range, nuances, ternaryand binary rhythms… )/ Répertoire / Voix
