To encourage children to take solo parts, should be done slowly and
carefully. If a child is unsure of his or her voice or has fear of not
being able to remember the words, try a single word, then a phrase,
then a verse and before long a whole song will follow – depending
upon the at-easeness of the individual child.
Using SIMPLICITY is a
good beginning – the INTRICACIES can come over many program
days, weeks and months – ENJOYMENT OF MUSIC should
take place over these development periods. Each child does not
have to sound the same. LET’S INSTEAD, RESPECT THE
CHILD’S INDIVIDUALITY. Let’s look for VOICE RANGE
VARIATION. Listen to the varying TONES of these four children:
I’m Singing A Solo
I’m Singing By Myself
And When You Sing A Solo
You Don’t Need Anyone Else
Yes, I’m Singing A Solo
I’m Singing By Myself
And When You Sing A Solo
You Don’t Need Anyone Else
ELLA: I’M SINGING A
Children: solo
ELLA: I’M SINGING BY MY
Children: self
ELLA: AND WHEN YOU SING A
Children: solo
ELLA: YOU DON’T NEED ANYONE
Children: else
