VOCAL EXERCISES (General and Jazz)
It is often difficult for singing students to practise at home without fully remembering what was given in the lessons & without accompaniment.
12 Warm-ups & Exercises for Singers. These basic exercises have been devised over the years of teaching, and include demo and accompaniment. Apart from basic “engagement” exercises, some of the exercises have been individually crafted to develop awareness and grasp of intervals, scales, broken chords, chromatics and more. These general exercises will help develop strength, range, control, and general vocal ability.
Six Exercises for Jazz Singers. These are designed to help improve jazz ability and styling, along with building vocal strength.
- was recorded & mixed over 2008-2010 in the IMERSD studio at Qld Conservatorium, with Matt Hitchcock at the helm. Russ Walker (Stan Walker’s brother) is a lead singer alongside Sharny. The band & choir are Sharny's colleagues, Con students, friends & Sharny's own talented family. Initially meant to be a demo of her worship songs written over the years, it evolved into a fairly decent album which is blessing people already it seems! There songs are also for use in churches & Christian schools.
