The imaginative and effective activities in this book invite children to discover the sounds they can make with their voices. Not only are the activities fun, they also serve as excellent vocal warm-ups for singing. Children are taught that just as an athlete warms up various muscles before competing, singers must warm up their vocal muscles in order to be able to sing with flexibility. For example, for the song, "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain," kids are asked to say "whoa back" after each phrase in the second verse. These types of vocal activities are considered the foundation for effective singing. Young singers learn to understand the range of sounds their own voices can make, how they can more effectively control those sounds, and ultimately sing in tune and with feeling.
