The Musical Contexts Complete

“Warm-Ups Compendiums”

The Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 1 contains a range of traditional and new warm-up activities and games, collected and collated all in one place with over 100 slides!

The warm-up activities and games have been divided into four categories: Singing/Vocal Warm-Ups, Tongue Twisters, Body Percussion Warm-Ups and Clapping and Rhythm Game Warm-Ups and are suitable for both the Primary and Secondary music classrooms.

There is a range of ideas (often given in the “slide notes” areas”), starting points, songs, scores, audio and video files to support teachers.

The Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 1 is available to download as a PowerPoint Presentation to “full site subscribers” - simply click on the image to the right and SAVE/DOWNLOAD to your chosen storage device. There are many embedded audio and video files bringing the size of the HUGE file to over 1GB so it may take a while to download depending on your internet connection and download speed. Once downloaded, it’s completely editable and customisable - simply delete whatever you don’t want to use!

I hope that there may be something “new” to you within the Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 1 and that the activities prove useful in your teaching and enjoyable for your classes.

Please feel free to copy, modify, customise, personalise and use Musical Contexts resources for your own use, with your students and pupils, within your own school or college and on internal Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs).

Please use the resources responsibly and ethically, as continued irresponsible free sharing and poaching of paid published resources (particularly “free sharing” to Facebook groups and the current trend of setting up “free” music resource websites using Musical Contexts and other published resources) is not only a breach of copyright, but the implications of making these publicly available on websites, even if only for a short period of time, are that other schools and teachers can freely access them meaning a loss of earnings for authors and publishers, jeopardising future resource development for YOUR subject specification and will only sadly see the demise of sites such as Musical Contexts which rely on the support (and honesty) of schools and teachers for future development.

Musical Contexts is unitedly working with a range of publishers together to monitor Facebook groups for such “free sharing” and regular checks to the web are made using a program which scours the web for PDFs using automated code (scrapers). Any subscriber found freely sharing Musical Contexts resources online will have their log-in cancelled with immediate effect and no refund given in respect of this.

Following on from the success of the above, The Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 2 contains a range of even more traditional and new warm-up activities and games, collected and collated all in one place with over 80 slides!

As with Volume 1, the warm-up activities and games have been divided into four categories: Singing/Vocal Warm-Ups, Tongue Twisters, Body Percussion Warm-Ups and Clapping and Rhythm Game Warm-Ups and are suitable for both the Primary and Secondary music classrooms.

There is a range of ideas (often given in the “slide notes” areas”), starting points, songs, scores, audio and video files to support teachers.

The Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 2 is available to download as a PowerPoint Presentation to “full site subscribers” - simply click on the image to the right and SAVE/DOWNLOAD to your chosen storage device. There are many embedded audio and video files bringing the size of the HUGE file to over 500MB so it may take a while to download depending on your internet connection and download speed. Once downloaded, it’s completely editable and customisable - simply delete whatever you don’t want to use!

I hope that there may be something “new” to you within the Musical Contexts Complete Warm-Ups Compendium Volume 2 and that the activities prove useful in your teaching and enjoyable for your classes.
