Are you tired of using the same vocal exercises and are ready to be inspired? Do you find it challenging to find warm-ups and cool-downs that inspire your musical theatre or CCM singers? Would you like to incorporate harmonies into your warm-up for your group voice class or ensemble? Are you ready to enjoy traditional vocal exercises in a new way?

In this interactive workshop, Dr. Katie DeFiglio will share some of her most requested vocal exercises that she has created during her years of experience as a voice teacher, music director, and pedagogue. Participants will learn warm-ups that address harmony, vocal qualities, style, articulation, rhythm, and movement. Dr. DeFiglio’s warm-ups include short, easy to learn exercises for all ages ranging from the beginning singer to the more advanced student, and include popular music styles for new ways to warm-up the voice in an enjoyable way. In addition to learning new vocal exercises for warm-up and cool-down, participants will receive resources for continued exploration after the workshop, and be able to bring back fresh ideas for their private voice students, group classes, ensembles, or for their own singing joy!

*Participants can expect to be singing, clapping, moving, smiling, and may experience vocal joy during this workshop.
