About this resource

  • Before you start signing, it’s important to warm up your voice.
  • Warming up your voice stretches your vocal cords and helps clear your throat.
  • Warm ups are also good for developing your breath control and for creating a balanced tone.

Key Learning

  • Each lesson should begin with relevant vocal warm-ups that adequately prepare students for vocalising and that lead directly into the main activity. However, it is important that students experience a range of different warm ups so try to avoid sticking to a few tried-and-tested favourites.
  • Use warm-ups to challenge a range of issues faced by students undertaking vocal work. Pitch, ensemble, relationships and timing can all be supported through carefully chosen warm-ups that have clear links to the content of the lesson.
  • Where possible relate back to these messages as the lesson progresses to reinforce the value of starting every lesson with an appropriate and engaging warm up.
