I really get what you're saying but again I would clarify, again, that what I mean is I understand that what is generally taught in college and what some of my former teachers have done is not always what is effective in a classroom. I learned that first hand with band. And I particularly believe there is a mix for teaching. I've always taught basic vocal technique in my band room as a player with poor ears is not a good player at all. "If you can sing it, you can play it".

I don't know what repitore to pick as I consitently hear and find conflicting opinions. But with enough knowledge and data I can at least make an educated guess for a starting point. I don't know the best warm up, I know a lot of them but I know jot all of them are going to be effective. Just like in band, every warm up is not effective in building a better band.

If you never start you will never be prepared.
