This or That? Singing Warm-Up Game
This or That? is a student-directed game that encourages exploration through playful choices. Each prompt invites singers to choose their warm-up, which could be a rhythm, movement, vocal roller coaster, a song, and more.
Because students help guide the lesson, this game supports independence and decision-making—two essential skills for confident performers. For a deeper look at why student-led learning matters, visit our blog post: What Does “Student-Led” Really Mean For Voice Lessons?

This gentle song encourages thoughtful reflection through a simple but powerful question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Its approachable melody helps young students feel successful while learning how to communicate emotion through their voice.
I Will Be There
