Kindergarten Singing

This week we have started to prepare songs for the Kindergarten concert: Oceans Of FUN! A newsletter will be sent home next week explaining the date, time, and location. We are learning about many different animals that live under the sea. We began our Shark Attack song and the students are having a blast learning all about Tiger Sharks, Hammer Head Sharks, Blue Sharks and Great White Sharks! 

In Kindergarten we start to explore the different ways we can use our voice. We discovered we have a singing, speaking, whisper, calling (loud voice- because shouting is not allowed in music) and of course our silly voices.  The students have been working really hard and practicing using their, "head voice" which is developed by using proper singing technique. In order to achieve this students have been practicing with various vocal warm-ups: Slides, echo, ball bouncing and many more fun visuals and instruments that can help achieve a proper singing voice.
