Pitch Exploration Pathways / Twelve color, large format 11 x 17 cards - Elementary Music Education

These drawings provide inspiration for children to make sliding sounds that explore the vocal muscles used to sing in the upper register, or “head voice.” Just as an athlete warms up certain muscle groups before exercising, singers should “warm up” the head voice muscles with activities such as these before singing. Just as aerobics improve physical conditioning, vocal ability will improve if these pathways are used frequently. (g6510)
