More about this title

Why we love this

This resource strips away the uncertainty that comes with teaching adolescent male singers. Rather than improvising solutions to voice changes mid-rehearsal, you have a structured framework with assessment tools, targeted exercises, and vetted repertoire recommendations that actually work for this age and voice type.

Who it's for

Middle school and junior high choral directors managing boys with changing voices. This textbook is designed for teachers who want assessment methods and voice development strategies grounded in the specific physiology and psychology of adolescent male singers, not general choral instruction.

How to get the most out of it

  • Use the testing methods early in the year to establish each boy's current range and voice type; this data informs your voicing decisions throughout the season
  • Integrate the warm-up and voice development exercises into every rehearsal, not just occasionally, to build consistent healthy habits
  • Reference the self-image concepts when you sense hesitation or disengagement; voice change is as much psychological as physiological

How to use it

Use this as your planning and rehearsal resource throughout the year. The testing methods help you identify voice parts accurately at the start of each term; the warm-up exercises integrate into daily rehearsals to support healthy voice development; and the curated repertoire list informs your program selections so you choose pieces that sit well for boys in transition.

Skills your students will build

  • Understanding vocal physiology during voice change
  • Identifying personal voice type and range through guided testing
  • Building healthy vocal habits through targeted warm-ups and exercises
  • Developing confidence and positive self-image in the changing voice
