My 6 year old loves to sing. Should she do voice lessons?

At Music Beat we love singing, and believe all children should sing all the time!

From a technique perspective, children don’t really need to ‘learn’ to sing until they are at least 9 or 10 years old. For younger children we recommend joining a community choir, like the Piccolos at Voices of Birralee, where the focus of the singing is on developing aural skills, group skills and enjoying the socialisation that comes with singing with others.

Having said that though, these days many young children come to us for lessons early because they copy the TV shows (you know the ones!) and therefore develop belting technique that is not good for little voices.

So if you want your little one to learn singing talk to us. We will set up a program that is age appropriate, and from a pedagogical stand will focus on good breathing, posture, tone and gentle singing.
