Singing Lessons for kids without singing scales! Beginning to more experienced young singers can warm up and learn how to sing correctly as they sing thirteen classic pop songs on this 2-CD set. Susan Anders' No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workouts have been used by thousands of singers worldwide. Her method has been tailored here for younger voices, with kid-friendly songs and easy singing instruction. This fun vocal warmup can be is used in the home, car, or classroom, and is suitable for girls or boys ages 7-13.
Warmup 1 includes all the songs sung with warm up sounds along with some instructional prompts. Each song is preceded by an instructional track including some “Repeat after me” sections to help the singer learn some voice technique essentials like correct breathing, posture, resonance, range expansion, and pitch accuracy. Warmup 2 includes all the songs sung with the lyric. Each song is preceded by a brief singing lesson segment. Warmup 3 includes all the music tracks for the songs without vocals. Each song is preceded by a brief introduction. Singers can graduate to this warmup after working with the first two warmups. Singing teachers can also use these tracks as part of their lesson plan. Additional Work Songs: For older or more advanced singers, three more challenging songs are included at the end of each warmup. Singers who want to sing in a bigger range and polish their vocal delivery can use these songs once they have warmed up with the first ten songs. The three songs are Take Me Home Country Roads, Hey Jude and Over the Rainbow. Songs
Vocal Range B below middle C to C just over an octave higher. The additional work songs go to the Eb above that. Adult sopranos and baritones can also use this method as a warm up. Baritones will sing an octave lower than the guide vocals.
The typical pre-puberty boy or girl's voice falls into a soprano range, roughly an octave from middle C up. The Just Songs Vocal Warmup for Kids gradually covers this range, and then goes a third higher in the optional last three songs of the set. A Note From Susan "I've been contacted by many children's choir directors and children's singing teachers who have used my No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workouts successfully with their kids. Most kids would much rather sing a song than a scale, so the song-based method is a great way to introduce good vocal technique to younger singers. But when I designed the workouts I had adult singers and post-puberty vocal cords in mind. Also, it concerned me that the lyrics of most of the workout songs cover grown up themes. So I developed this vocal warm up specifically for kids. I wanted it to be fun, so I tested these songs on a lot of kids to make sure they liked them. I wanted these to be kid-friendly songs and lyrics, drawing from pop songs of the last forty years. Most importantly, a child's vocal cords are still growing, so I wanted this method to be gentle. This is a vocal warm up, not a workout. The goal here is not just to help young singers warm up vocally, but also to instill some good vocal habits at an early age in a way that's easy and fun."
