Pitch Exploration Pathways Flash Cards - Vocal Warm Up Cards For Singers

About This Product

Music teachers and choir directors, these Pitch Exploration Pathways flash cards are absolutely brilliant for vocal warm-ups! Created by John Feierabend, this set includes eleven large 11x17 inch cards printed in vibrant colors on sturdy cardstock. Each card features fun illustrations with movement lines - think roller coasters, deflating balloons, skiers, falling leaves, and other engaging images that inspire kids to make sliding sounds with their voices. These exercises specifically target the vocal muscles used for singing in the upper register or 'head voice,' helping develop proper vocal technique from an early age. The teaching approach recommends starting with descending slides first, then adding ascending sounds once the correct muscles are engaged - just like athletes warming up before exercise. Included is a sheet of teaching techniques to help you get the most out of these cards. The pictures are super engaging for children and include: deflating balloon, skier, falling leaf, inchworm, snail, kangaroo, roller coaster, butterfly, dragonfly, hot air balloon, and paper airplane. Regular use of these pathways doesn't just warm up voices - it actually improves vocal ability over time through consistent practice. Seriously, if you work with young singers and want to develop their head voice in a fun, visual way that keeps them engaged, these flash cards provide that perfect blend of education and entertainment that makes music learning enjoyable and effective!
