Director's Toolkit
SAI's Education Department has started assembling a list of
resources appropriate to a "Directors Tool Kit". Below is a list
of resources available through International sales and
recommended as a basic tool kit for all front-line directors and
their music staffs. The list will be updated and items added
through the Forward Motion newsletter.
Your "basic" tool kit should contain these items:
• Breathing To Sing with Lori Lyford (video)
• PVI-Making A Difference (video)
• Warming Up to Vocal Freedom/Lila Mori (CD)
• Diva Method warm up/cool down (CD)
• I’m Not Crazy, I’m vocalizing (CD)
• Sing Legato (booklet)
• Get America Singing Again (songbook)
• Structure & Movements of Breathing (manual/brochure)
• Complete Choral Warm Up Book (manual/brochure)
• DCP Modules (set of 10)
• Judging Category Description Book
Other materials helpful for you to save and have on hand include
copies of the Forward Motion newsletters, the
Betty Clipman Vocal Production Series,
various IES CDs with class handouts and faculty résumés, and
books and videos reviewed through the Resource Review Team and
published in the Forward Motion newsletter.
