Vocal Readiness for a Successful Choral Experience
October 25
Lillie Feierabend
What should a young child be able to do before they join choir?
This lively session will share developmentally appropriate techniques and activities designed to engage the young child on their journey to a lifetime of tuneful singing.
We will cover the following important components of Vocal Development for young children.
1. Pitch Exploration (sensation of the singing voice)
2. Fragment Singing (independent singing)
3. Simple Songs (musical syntax)
4. Arioso (original musical thinking)
5. Songtales (expressive sensitivity through listening)
A detailed handout will be provided and audio of children singing will be shared.
