Why we love this

Robinson brings the wisdom of a master clinician to the rehearsal room. His sequencing of these twelve warm-ups reflects years of observing what actually prepares choirs to sing well, rather than what sounds impressive in isolation. Directors will recognize that each exercise serves a clear pedagogical purpose.

What to expect

Efficient and purposeful. Each warm-up moves quickly into meaningful work without filler, building vocal capability while reinforcing essential techniques. The progression creates natural momentum, warming the voice and sharpening ensemble focus before repertoire rehearsal.

Who it's for

Directors of SAB and three-part mixed choirs at the secondary and adult levels will find these warm-ups immediately useful. Whether you're establishing a new warm-up routine or looking to replace exercises that have lost effectiveness, this collection offers flexibility and proven results.

How to get the most out of it

Establish a consistent warm-up routine by using these exercises in the same order each rehearsal; repetition allows singers to focus on technique rather than remembering what comes next.
Move through the sequence at a steady pace without extended pauses between exercises, maintaining vocal and mental engagement throughout the twelve minutes.
Adjust the tempo and tessitura of individual warm-ups to match the needs of your choir on any given day rather than treating the collection as rigid.
Return to specific exercises throughout the season whenever your choir struggles with a particular technical challenge that the warm-up addresses.

How to use it

Make this a cornerstone of every rehearsal, using the same twelve-exercise sequence consistently so that warm-up time becomes automatic rather than instructional. Perform this as a standalone concert piece only in contexts where your audience values pedagogical presentation; these exercises serve their greatest purpose during rehearsal preparation.
