Do you know any good choral jazz warm ups?

I have to find choral jazz warm ups for my class and I can not find any online. If you know any good warm ups for a jazz choir please let me know. If possible, include possible piano accompaniment (chords) to play with warm up.|||Here are some useful links for your choral jazz warm ups:

Good luck!|||Scales are always best, moving up 1/2-chord progression after each scale. Just start on the piano at middle C, and progress upward from their, each section singing in their range.





You can use different sounds to do the scales and sometimes do them staccato, sometimes smooth, sometimes just on the upbeat (syncopated).





Use sounds like: Ha, Ah, Ho, La, Ee





I would also immediately teach the use of the diaphram breathing:





Have them breathe in through their nose while silently counting to 5





Then they silently say "Pause"





Then breathe out through their mouth, silently counting to 8





Then they silently say "Pause :|





Be sure to have them breathing in past the lungs and tell them to


feel the breath going down into their lower back (while stomach expands) so it properly reaches the diaphram muscle whereat they will learn to sing with much more preciseness, clarity and force and have overall better control over their voice as the diaphram muscle gets stronger from these exercises.





Always have them sing from the diaphram (unless using falsetto).
