Notes
Susan Anders says: "Many kids voice teachers and choir directors have used my vocal workouts, since kids would rather sing songs than scales. But the workouts are meant for grown up voices. I designed this method with growing kid voices in mind. I tested it on kids to make sure they liked it. The song lyrics are kid-friendly and the method is gentle. This is a vocal warmup, not a workout, to help kids warm up vocally while learning some singing basics.' 'My kids love this warm up! They like the songs and they like Susan's teaching bits, too. This is a great way for a kid to get some easy singing lessons or just warm up.' --Cecily Gardner, vocal coach & mom, Los Angeles, CA Beginning to more experienced young singers 8-13 can warm up and learn how to sing correctly as they sing thirteen classic pop songs on this 2-CD set. Susan Anders' No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workouts have been used by thousands of singers worldwide. Her method has been tailored here for younger voices, with kid-friendly songs and easy singing instruction. This fun program for teaching kids how to sing can be is used in the home, car, or classroom. The Just Songs Vocal Warmup for Kids method uses warm up sounds combined with a set of kid-friendly classic pop songs. The songs gradually increase in range and difficulty to warm up the voice gently and easily. Instructional segments precede each song. The warmup can be sung with the warm up sounds or with the lyrics. The Just Songs Vocal Warmup for Kids includes: • Two CDs of instructional narration and music tracks. • Fully produced music tracks with and without guide vocals. • Thirteen kid-friendly classic pop songs; a ten song warm up, plus three additional work songs. Three versions of the warmup are included: • Warmup 1 includes all the songs, sung with warm up sounds. Each song is preceded by a short singing lesson track, including some "Repeat after me" sections to help the singer learn some voice technique essentials like correct breathing, posture, resonance, range expansion, and pitch accuracy. • Warmup 2 includes all the songs, sung with the lyric. Each song is preceded by a brief instructional introduction. • Warmup 3 includes all the music tracks for the songs without vocals. Each song is preceded by a brief introduction. Kids can graduate to this warm up after working with the first two warm ups. Singing teachers can also use these tracks as part of their lesson plan. Additional Work Songs: For older or more advanced singers, three more challenging songs are included at the end of each warmup. Singers who want to sing in a bigger range and Polish their vocal delivery can use these songs once they have warmed up with the first ten songs. The three songs are Take Me Home Country Roads, Hey Jude and Over the Rainbow. Songs: Lean On Me One Love The Name Game Rockin' Robin Don't Worry, Be Happy Yellow Submarine I Ain't Got No Home The Lion Sleeps Tonight Wade in the Water Joy to the World (Chorus only) Take Me Home, Country Roads Hey Jude Over the Rainbow Please note: some of the songs are shorter than the original versions. Range: B below middle C to C an octave higher. The additional work songs go to the Eb above that. Adult sopranos and baritones can also use this method as a warm up. Baritones will sing an octave lower than the guide vocals. Bio: Susan Anders has been coaching singers for over twenty-five years.
