Teaching Kids To Sing

A sequence of 90 psychomotor skills for child and adolescent vocal development, drawn from the author's book Teaching kids to sing (Schirmer Books, 1992)

Using a group of average, elementary-age children, Dr. Phillips teaches & models each of the ninety exercises & vocalises of his method for the vocal instructor. Five main areas of vocal development are presented: respiration, phonation, tone production, diction & expression. Three exercises for each of these five areas form one level, & each level of fifteen exercises builds upon the next, as students in grades 1-12 are challenged to improve their singing technique.

Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.
