Robinson, Russell L., and Jay Althouse. The Complete Choral Warm-up Book: A Sourcebook for Choral Directors. Van Nuys, CA: Alfred, 1995. Print.
In The Complete Choral Warm – Up Book, Russel Robinson and Jay Althouse stated, “every warm-up must have a purpose” (Robinson & Althouse page 3). This book is a testimony to their message, in which, Robinson and Althouse developed an in-depth guide on how to use this resource to the best of its ability. All throughout the book, Robinson and Althouse gives examples of age appropriate warm ups as well as a short summary on how the warm up will be effective in your overall sound development.

Frauke Haasemann and James Mark, in honor of Dr. Wilhelm Ehmann, wrote the Group Vocal Technique. The authors of this book used the teachings of Dr. Wilhelm Ehmann to create a vocal guide for educators, but more importantly to cerate better teachers. Throughout this book, Haasemann and Mark introduces several different vocal techniques and crates a conservation with the reader on how to teach the subject mater.

Ester, Don. Sound Connections. 2012. Print.
Dr. Don Ester combines learning theory with music literacy to create the most effective music literacy-learning program. Sound Connections uses in depth knowledge of child psychology that allows for a better chance of achieving musical independence. Sound Connections has the resources within the book itself as well as the resource binder to allow the reader to start the journey of music literacy.
Cole, Samuel W. Melodia, a Comprehensive Course in Sight-singing (solfeggio),. Philadelphia: Oliver Ditson, 1903. Print.
Melodia is a sight-singing book with little instruction a full of musical training exercises. Though I appreciate the vas amount of music within the book, I feel as though that due to the lack of instruction that this music literacy resource would not be successful for younger students.
Conclusion
In my belief, Sound Connections is the best choice for increasing music literacy among the student populous. Sound Connections intertwine learning theory with music literary to create which far precedes that of Melodia. The design of Melodia requires a student to have an unrealistic understanding of materials in which they do not have. The goal of music education should be to develop independent literate musicians in which Sound Connections create.
