Warm Up Arrangements
Over 130 warm-up exercises for choirs — combinable in three phases, put together into a rehearsal plan in seconds. The book is out of print; it lives on as an app and can now do far more than printed pages ever could — in English and German from the start.
What's in it
Every rehearsal starts differently: sometimes the choir is tired, sometimes wired, sometimes a concert is coming up. Instead of leafing through a book, you put together a suitable sequence in the app — from Body/Mind, Voice and The Gym.
134 exercises
From two sold-out print runs, sorted by the three phases of a warm-up and by purpose — from breath and support all the way to improvisation.
That's why!
If the instructions in the DO IT view aren't enough, one tap opens the WHY & HOW view: what the exercise is for, and how you can take it further.
Numbers or notes
The same exercise as scale degrees or in staff notation — one tap switches the view. For everyone who reads differently.
Audio examples
You can listen to many of the exercises before trying them with your choir. Sung by my family, not generated.
Search by keyword
Only working on chromaticism today? The keyword search shows you every matching exercise — right across all three phases.
A keyboard on board
A mini piano inside the warm-up: give starting notes without walking over to the grand or reaching for a second device.
Your own exercises
Your favourite exercises belong in there too. Create them, tag them and combine them with the built-in ones.
The Little Book
The thinking behind the method — the three phases, jazz and pop core skills, why new exercises need time.
Two languages
English and German, in full — every exercise, every explanation and the Little Book. A button on the home screen switches the language, mid-rehearsal, without restarting.
Step by step
Your Exercise Pool holds all the exercises, sorted into three phases. Listen to them and add the ones you like to your arrangement. If you want more guidance, open the WHY & HOW view.
Once you have chosen your exercises, look at your arrangement. Show the graphics or texts as a reminder, put them in the order that suits you, and even slide out a keyboard for giving starting notes. In the rehearsal you simply read from top to bottom — and you are perfectly organised.
If an arrangement works particularly well, save it to your Library. That is where your warm-up arrangements live, ready to be loaded again whenever you like.
For everyone taking their first steps in leading warm-ups, this is a collection of thoughts and tips. Strictly unscientific and in plain language. Something you may read – not something you must.

Good to know before you buy: the app lets you create up to five exercises of your own per warm-up phase and save up to ten warm-ups in your library. If you need more, the Pro upgrade gives you unlimited room — a one-off €9.99, again with no subscription.
Pro arrives with a later update and is not yet available at launch. Prices are for the euro area; the App Store shows the price in your local currency. The app arrives first for iPad, in English and German from day one; an Android version is in preparation.
In preparation
Well-known choir directors are adding their favourite exercises. We are working on making them available in the app — that needs a little more patience, and we thank you for it! They will arrive with a later update as separate packs at €4.99 each — they are not yet available at launch.
