Welcome to our singing lesson! Today, we’re going to embark on a journey that will not only enhance your vocal skills but also deepen your appreciation for the art of singing. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just curious about your vocal abilities, everyone can discover new dimensions to their voice.
To break the ice and get participants comfortable with their voices, we will start with a fun and engaging activity involving each participant's name.
Gather Round: Form a circle and make sure everyone can see and hear each other.
Introduction: Begin by introducing yourself, sharing a fun fact about your singing experience (or lack thereof), and then demonstrate the activity. For example, you might say, "I'm Alex, and I’ll sing my name to the tune of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star': ‘Alex, Alex, here I am, singing brightly, that’s my jam!’”
Pass It On: After your introduction, it’s the next person's turn. Encourage them to sing their name in a way that's comfortable for them—this could be to an existing melody, an original tune, or even a rhythmic pattern. Remind them that there's no right or wrong way to do this!
Cheer and Support: As each person shares their name through song, have the group clap or cheer, providing positive reinforcement to foster a supportive environment.
After everyone has had their chance, gather together and discuss how it felt to use your voice publicly. Consider questions such as:
Having warmed up our voices and broken down barriers, we'll dive deeper into the fundamentals of singing. Today's session will cover vocal techniques, breathing exercises, and ways to express emotion through music. So, let your voices relax, and prepare to explore the beautiful realm of singing together!
