Make Way for Music!

Make Way for Music: Our Voices!



"Sing, sing a song."- nothing is more beautiful than families singing together!  In class we play with our voices-whispering, speaking, singing, and making other neat sounds!


Our voices do so much for us every day-communicating information or emotion, making sounds of surprise or delight, and much more! As "our first instrument," the human voice has amazing possibilities in speech and singing. One of your child's first responses to a musical experience were vocal sounds-babblings, cooing, and the like. With time, experience, and practice comes a control over those sounds-resulting in matching pitch, singing alone or with others, and singing with or without accompaniment.



Families that sing together have fun together!

  • How many songs does your family know? Make a long drive shorter with a Family Singing Marathon. Someone keep record of the number of songs and minutes for the next time.
  • Tired of waiting in the check-out or drive through line? Sing a song.
  • Pass a song. Make up family rules so every member of the family gets a turn to sing part of a familiar song.
