Lesson ideas
In order to help students learn to match pitch, I use the words “singing voice” and “talking voice” all the time – throughout all of the grade levels. So many students don’t know how to produce a singing voice. They need help producing their head voice. So, I spend the first few months talking about “voices: singing, talking, whispering and ‘calling,’” which I tell them is better for their throat than yelling.
