5-7 Year Olds Voice
Voice class for 6 & 7-year olds will involve introductory vocal training to develop the singing voice. We will focus on vocal warm-ups that involve singing with proper vocal techniques, hearing and matching pitches, ear-training, and sightsinging in solfege through the Kodaly method (which means students will learn to read music by using “do, re, mi, … and hand signs).
This method has been proven to promote better understanding and memory of pitch recognition. We teach actual note names, note values, rhythm concepts, harmonization, and students will have an opportunity to write their own music. The class will sing together as a group (which will build self-confidence in each student), but also do some solo work for each other. This is a great class for beginning vocal students to learn to sing properly from the beginning in a fun way, make friends, learn from each other, and build confidence to perform for any size audience.
