Voice/Singing Grade 6: Technique

What you'll learn

1. 1

   Imagine your voice is like a musical instrument 🎸. Just like a guitar, you need to warm it up and use the right 'settings' to make it sound great!

2. 2

   Where should you feel your tummy go when you breathe in for singing?

   Let's practise your breath control. Breathe in deep (tummy out) and then hum a long 'mmmm' sound for as long as you can.

4. 4

   Let's learn a warm-up slide — 'yoo-oo-oo'. Start low and slide up high, then slide back down.

5. 5

   Now you try! Which of these is the BEST way to describe good singing technique?

6. 6

   Time to sing a simple tune! Hum 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' using your tummy breaths.

7. 7

   What should you do BEFORE you start singing a phrase?
