It is much easier to teach a child to sing than an adult. This is due to the specifics of the vocal apparatus at a certain age. The child's vocal cords are thin and delicate and very easy to learn.
Having noticed a great desire to sing in a child, it is necessary to help him develop this skill. Since it is very easy to teach a child to sing, it is within the power of parents. Of course, if the parents have an ear for music.
There are several signs by which one can understand that a child has the ability to music: tries to dance to music, plays rattles or other objects to music, tries to sing along, recites poetry with expression. Of course, there are still many different signs, but children sing incomprehensibly, and if there is even such a manifestation of the desire to sing, then this definitely speaks of abilities in music. Also, a child's hearing is good, and the complex of voice with hearing may not be at all. But all this is acquired in the course of training.
Do not burden the child with music and singing. These activities should be interesting and entertaining to him, and not be a burden. Children's ligaments are tender and therefore get tired very soon, in this regard, at first, you need to do no more than fifteen minutes. In order for the child not to be too bored, you can use bright pictures, toys and toy musical instruments.
How to teach a child to sing? First you need to understand what toys the child is playing with. Since toys should not only be fun, but also help in development. If a child shows a strong passion for music, then it is worth buying toys on a musical theme: a metallophone, a toy synthesizer, record children's songs on a disc or flash drive. To teach your child to sing, consider the following tips:
You need to listen to children's songs and try to reproduce the melody. You can listen to individual lines, stop and sing without music. Then sing the full verse with the music, and then without it. It is worth saying that singing apart from music greatly develops hearing, of course, if mom and dad have good hearing and can point out inaccuracies.
If there is any musical instrument in the house, you should try to play light phrases on it, and then ask the baby to sing this phrase by syllable (for example, la-la). You can play this way in turn with adults.
It is very effective to learn and pronounce tongue twisters, as this gives the development of diction. It is also very useful to learn poetry. Read them with expression and take your time. Such classes can be carried out from an early age.
If a child is drawn to music, then you need to help him with this. Conducting such elementary classes, the child will develop in music, and later, when he studies at a music school, it will be much easier for him to master everything.
