The warm-up part of the lessons is much more than standing and singing. Yes, we want to warm up the voice with technical exercises, but we can do so much more with our students. A warm-up that includes multi-sensory activities (singing, moving, listening, writing) will make the beginning of each lesson musically productive!Voice, Mind, and BodySinging exercises are just one part of the warm-up. A great warm-up also engages the mind and body. Students can discover theoretical concepts, (Are you singing an arpeggio or scale?) answer questions, (How many notes in a scale?) and can explore movement by clapping, tapping and moving to rhythmic challenges. With a comprehensive and full body warm-up your students will be more than ready for their repertoire study.
Sight Singing Is Super Fun!
Confident singingTonic sol-fa is a method that allows singers to sing unaccompanied and quickly build their confidence. Superhero singers can learn the note values and practice simple rhythms by clapping and counting aloud. Notes on the StaffJust like piano students, our super singers need to be able to read notes on the music staff. This resource includes mini note flashcards to make learning notes fun. Writing activities help too!Interval StudyYoung singers can use scales, triads and arpeggios to hear and sing simple intervals. They don’t know it yet - but they have supersonic listening skills already!Putting in all togetherOnce future superheros have developed strong music skills, simple two bar sight singing drills can help to put all the skills together.
