Our Voices

Our voices do so much for us every day, communicating information or emotion, sounds of surprise or delight, and more. Sometimes considered "the first instrument," the human voice has amazing possibility and range in both speech and singing, as well as vocal sound effects. Children first participate in musical experiences by responding to them with sounds from their voices. As they grow, they begin to control those sounds, matching pitch and singing along, or singing on their own, without accompaniment.

In Family Time class we sing up high and down low, and make music together in vocal ensembles. The whole family gets to sing and play together, allowing them to experience firsthand that every child (and adult) is musical by nature.
