Want to move beyond repetitive warm-ups and bring more engagement into your voice lessons?

Discover engaging lesson warm-up activities, vocal exercises, and teaching strategies that support healthy singing, confident learning, and meaningful musical experiences for young singers.

What Will Be Covered

This practical 90-minute workshop explores how voice teachers can move beyond repetitive, piano-based warm-ups and create engaging vocal experiences that support healthy singing and develop confidence in beginner vocalists.

Topics include:

• Purposeful vocal warm-ups and lesson activities
• Movement, play, and imagination in vocal teaching
• Building confidence and engagement in lessons
• Age-appropriate breathing and vocal coordination activities
• Instructional language that inspires curiosity and student autonomy

Participants will experience demonstrations of warm-ups, games, movement activities, and vocal exercises that can be adapted for private lessons and small group classes.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Understand the purpose behind vocal warm-ups and lesson activities
• Understand regulation, readiness, and student learning
• Understand how confidence and engagement support vocal learning
• Explore how young singers learn through movement, play, and experience
• Learn age-appropriate ways to teach breathing
• Explore instructional language that encourages curiosity and student autonomy

*Please note: We try to schedule teacher workshops during working hours for our Australian friends. Because this live presentation occurs outside convenient hours, it is available as a recording after the live event.
