Musical Parenting Tip: Use
your voice to make sounds & sound effects!
Why?
- Vocal play is a great way to bring literature to life for children.
- Making sound effects fosters vocal exploration, and encourages children to explore timbre, range, dynamics, and expression.
- Playing with voice sounds encourages your child’s creativity & freedom of expression
How?
- Read the e-book ‘Golden Bear.’ Explore with your child, to create sound effects for each page.
- Sing along with your Teddy Bear – and add some ‘bear sounds’ between verses!
- Play a sound game, where you make voice sounds for every way you can move: slide your voice up when you move up high; slide your voice down when you move down low. What would make a good bouncy voice sound? What would work for spinning around? How many ideas can your family come up with?
