What is it?
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.
Aims of Early VoiceGym:
-
To get children singing well at an early age
-
To strengthen the connections between the development of voice, posture, brain and dentition
-
To maintain the connection between speech and singing, often lost in early schooling
-
To develop children's confidence
-
To encourage them to support and help one another
-
To get parents involved with and understanding this connected development
-
To give children better speech to read aloud and communicate with
-
To give everyone the foundations of a good voice for life
-
To inform parents and teachers of early stages in the development of children's coordination, voices, dentition, and posture so that potential problems can be detected and prevented before the more complicated stages of puberty and adulthood are reached
-
To make singing fun for the whole family
