Simple Vocal Warmups for Singers

While many ensembles and choirs will spend some time warming up at the start of rehearsal or prior to singing at liturgy, there may be times it’s helpful to warm up on your own as a vocalist. Katie Barton shares a few simple vocal warmups for singers that can be done at home or in the car to prepare for singing at liturgy.

Katie Barton is the Director of Sacred Music at St. Thomas Parish in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky where she conducts the Adult Choir, Liturgical Ensemble, Resurrection Choir, and Schola. She has previously served as the Director of Music at Holy Spirit Parish in Newport, Kentucky; St. Timothy Parish in Union, Kentucky; and St. Mary Parish – Hyde Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a total of 30 years in music ministry.
