Developing Your Child's Young Voice



Each week in Kindermusik class, we are teaching children to sing songs in class. This is especially true for children ages 3 and up.

Did you know?
  • The songs from Kindermusik class are always pitched in a specific range that is ideal for your child to learn to sing. 

  • We focus on teaching children to sing intervals that are best for your child’s young voice, such as Sol-Mi (the 5-3 of the chord) and then we add other intervals as we go (Sol-Mi-La, Sol-Mi-La-Do, etc).

  • Songs are repetitive in nature so that children can get past the words (which they learn first) to the notes so that they can practice matching pitch. 

  • We sing songs without a track because child learn best while listening to and matching pitch with a person singing in an unaccompanied head voice.  

As you can see, there is a LOT of thought and planning that goes into each song we want a child to learn and sing. It’s all part of our commitment to provide an excellent music education that is age-appropriate, research based, and led by a licensed & trained educator.
