Practical, concise and easy to read, Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults is a hands on guide to vocal pedagogy. It explains the abilities and limitations of young singers through the various stages of their lives, outlines appropriate technique - including approaches suitable for different musical styles, adolescence and gender - and provides anatomical descriptions and sample exercises throughout. Packed with illustrative case studies and illuminated with original artwork, the book also addresses topics such as the teaching of children with special educational needs, vocal health, and the structuring of lessons, warm-ups and individual practice times. Separately available is a companion DVD that perfectly illuminates the singing exercises in the book.

Following on from the enormous popularity of the first edition, this exciting new edition provides yet more practically relevant information for everyone working with children’s voices.
Completely new content includes much more up-to-date material on how to deliver information and exercises to the student. Learning new skills is not purely about repetition, the style and variety of information delivery from the teacher is crucial. The author has incorporated the latest research from sports science and the psychology of learning in order to explain lesson structure and the nature and frequency of feedback. New information from classroom teaching has given us useful guidance for effective group teaching. The nature of creativity and the particular needs of the creative child are explored in the light of recent research in psychology and learning.
