Early VoiceGym is a simple Voice and Body Exercise
programme, for children from 5 to 10 years old, to develop singing,
speech and posture. This provides an invaluable tool for any parent,
junior or infant teacher, music teacher or music therapy specialist.
Not only does it encourage the singing and movement of children
and leave you 'hands free' to move and sing with them, it also
explains the links between the development of the voice and the
development of posture, coordination and dentition (not generally
covered in anyone's training), and how these can effect not only
the voice, but the brain as well.
