Common misconception
Singing loudly means using our shouting voice.
Singing loudly should be a controlled, projected sound that avoids shouting.
Teacher tip
Encouraging pupils to open their mouths a little more when they sing can help the sound resonate and appear louder. The breathing warm-ups will help prepare the children for controlled louder singing.
