Learning to Sing

When learning to sing, children are most successful when singing songs that have a limited range, common rhythmic and melodic patterns, simple words and plenty of repetition. They always sing best those songs with which they are familiar.

One goal of Kindermusik is to provide joyful singing activities that guide children in developing a “light head voice,” singing with greater pitch accuracy and learning a repertoire of songs. Activities in the Kindermusik Imagine That! and ABC Music & Me curriculum provide opportunities for pre-school children to explore their many voices and to use a “singing voice.”

Start Singing!

Singing doesn’t have to be limited to Kindermusik class – you can help your child learn to sing and develop a love of music at home. Kindermusik Home Activity books provide lots of creative ideas for activities to do with your child that incorporate singing. The whimsically illustrated Kindermusik literature books invite vocal play and singing and are sure to become story time favorites you’ll read again and again! Singing can even serve as a “tool” for you to shift from one activity to another with your child.

The easiest way to help your child learn a song is to sing it through several times when you have their full attention. I always keep at least two Kindermusik albums in the car. I find that my son learns new songs the best when we're on the road. It gives him something fun to focus on and makes longer car rides so much more manageable for me!
