I belong to two community choirs and since doing your warm ups my directors have said: " Wow you are not going flat anymore!" Last week we were practicing Handel's Messiah and I hit a high b flat and our director said: " Amazing!" when she asked, I said check out Jeff Rolka's warm ups. Thanks for the help!
Awesome! Great work! Thank you for mentioning me to your director as well! Sharing is very helpful to the channel and I really appreciate it! All the best! Keep up the great work! Jeff
If you "almost die doing this" and you are Mezzo, wouldn't you be best to use the Mezzo lessons? It would be terrible if you damaged your vocal chords.
It might take some practice! Keep at it! You might also use the gear in the lower right hand portion of the video (in the TH-cam controls) to slow it down a little. The pitch will remain the same. Best, Jeff
Soprano range singing warm ups that go over the secondo passaggio generally go to the area of about a5. I would advise you, however, to try to figure this out on your own, as it's easier than it may seem and will help with your ear training as well. There are numerous free piano apps for mobile devices or you can try this website: www.musicca.com/piano Just so we're clear, I have no affiliation with that website. When you come to the note in question, just pause the video, but keep singing the note. Pluck around on the piano until you find it, and then of course, you'll know the note. It is important to make these associations as vocalists, so that we come to know the physical feeling of the range that notes are in. All the best, Jeff
I'm a classically trained singer who doesn't have room for a piano. These are the best videos! :)
Awesome! Thanks for watching and enjoy!

A brilliant workout, thank you Jeff. Great piano playing too.
So glad I'm already subscribed, wanted some comfortable soprano warmups and here you are! (;
Excellent stuff
Thank you 💛
Really excellent exercises for classically trained voices, am referring other singers to view .
I really needed this! I needed to go higher and this was perfect! Can you do more in this range?
Absolutely. You can always search my videos for 'extended range' as well!
I am a mezzo and I almost die doing this.

@@dianeshepherdlyricsoprano1394 I know, and I take care, but I'm trying to extend my range, so I mix the exercises.
@@luciapereira9275 OK.
Without any further ado at 0:51 ;-) Thanks Jeff!

I can’t do the last section

How does this go?
Not sure what you're asking! You might give the lesson a try and see!
