Singing for performance: warming up my voice so I'm ready to sing

6 lessons

Threads

  • Developing our singing voice
  • Practising and preparing for a performance

Description

This unit teaches the importance of warming up our voice and body, how to rehearse to improve and what a successful performance looks and sounds like. Pupils will warm up their voices in different ways, ready for singing and will learn that practising leads to improvement in their performance.

This unit will teach pupils the importance of warming up their voices before singing. Taking time to warm up through vocalising, breathing, body movement, and articulation will form a foundation of good practice in vocal technique that will be built on in future units. Pupils are taught how warming up helps their singing voices to be ready to rehearse and perform together towards the end of the unit. They are introduced to what a performance is, and the unit builds a foundation for how to rehearse to improve, a thread that will be significant in future singing and instrumental units.
