When I decided to write and record my first warm up and singing technique method I was aware that several of my students hated singing scales. Luckily I’d been teaching contemporary voice for awhile, and I knew many songs that I knew were great for helping singers warm up and/or learn specific aspects of vocal technique. So I created the No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workout. Since it's release, thousands of singers worldwide have used it to warm up and learn how to sing better. 

The Vocal Workout includes pop, rock and jazz songs from the 1940s—1990s that gradually increase in difficulty, along with singing instruction. The songs can be sung with the lyrics, or with my recommended vocal warm up sounds. 

The No Scales Just Songs Vocal Workout includes: 
    • Two CDs of 17 fully produced songs. Disc 1 includes the songs with vocals and quick singing lessons. Disc 2 has the same songs without vocals. Disc 2 also has a section on how to stylize the songs once they are mastered. 
    • A 53-page guidebook including detailed vocal technique information, song lyrics, vocal warm-up tips, troubleshooting hints, vocal stylizing ideas, glossary, study tips and more. 

Sing the Warmup Set: to loosen up, learn how to breathe correctly, increase your range, and to build control, resonance and better tone. 

Sing the Workout Set: to increase your volume, vocal endurance, sustenance, belting ability, and pitch dexterity. 

Beginning singers:   sing through the workout at your own pace to learn how to sing correctly and to develop good vocal technique and strength.

Experienced singers: skip the instructional intros and use the workout as a vocal warmup, and to expand or maintain your vocal technique and strength. 

Three versions are available: Alto/Bass/High Tenor, Baritone/Soprano, and an expanded version which includes all four Alto/Bass & Baritone/Soprano CDs.

"I was very pleased to find that you used a phonic style (singing the songs with a "la" or "na, na na")
which helped me bring my voice forward in the same way my voice therapists were doing"  Jerry Kirkpatrick
