Cultivating Singing Skills Through Effective Vocal Modeling and Varied Feedback

Abstract

Not all in-service general music teachers received instruction in vocal pedagogy for young voices. However, teaching children how to sing is highly complex. By understanding adult vocal registers and children’s vocal development, as well as using effective vocal modeling and varied feedback, music teachers may create a learning experience that can positively influence how young students view themselves as singers, sufficiently prepare them for future vocal music endeavors, and foster their intrinsic motivation to continue participating in vocal music.
