At Jigsaw, students aged 7 – 18 take part in an hour of singing as part of their 3 hour performing arts session. To ensure each child gets the right level of focus and personal attention there is a maximum of 20 students per class. Exploring skills in singing such as: Tone, Scales, Placement, Articulation, Diction, Breathing and more! The younger students aged 3 – 4 and 5-6 years learn the same singing skills on a more basic level for 30 minutes of their 90 minute session. There is a maximum of 16 students in the 3-6 years classes.
BOOK YOUR PLACE
For the 7 – 18 year-olds, each class starts with a vocal warm up, preparing them for the songs they will be learning and performing.
The students then put all their techniques into practise through a warm up song, sometimes sang in a round. The warm up section is repeated each week to increase the student’s confidence in their vocal technique.
Learning the main song of the session involves learning the tune, harmonies, understanding the text and creating a performance.
Songs from a variety of genres are taught to keep the children engaged, taking into consideration the interests of the group.
The 3 – 6 year-old students follow the same structure as the older students but at a more basic level. We use lots of imagery when teaching vocal techniques and new songs, to keep the exercises fun for the young students.
Teachers also use lots of Disney songs, musical theatre and light pop songs in order to keep their interest and energy going.
Singing classes for children can provide physical, emotional and social benefits. Whether you sing in a group or individually, singing classes can boost your confidence and self esteem. And it’s lots of fun!
