Vancouver Island Music Award nominated Singer/Songwriter, Carmen Hillary, has developed a program (with the help of her then three year old son) to inspire young children to begin to experience, feel and explore the full range of their vocal abilities. With 25 years of group and private singing teaching behind her as well as her experience as a Child Care Leader and Mother, Carmen is excited to offer this “one-of-a-kind” program that not only exposes young children to music through fun and original songs and stories, but that also enables them to develop their voices for singing.
Young kids learn best in groups. Imagine how educational and confidence buliding it is to learn a full range of vocal skills at such a young age! In the SINGAROO Program we use PLAYING, ACTING, DANCING and SINGING to cover the foundations of:
Vocal Range (singing high and low)
Voice Registers/Tonal Quality (voice
sound)
Use of Breath
Pronunciation
Gentle Warm ups (for
the vocal folds, face, tongue, mouth &
body)
Pitch/Ear Training (developing
an “ear” for music)
Rhythm (timing)
Emotion/Acting (getting into character)
Movement and Props (for
interaction, fun and focus)
Why is it that some people seem to sing well naturally, while others really
struggle? Well, it’s simple really, some of us discovered how to use our
voices effectively at a young age by experimenting and stumbling upon vocal
techniques. Talent isn't born, it is discovered and developed.
All you really need is a passion for music!
Who is coming to class?
