  Developing Children’s Voices (Singing Teachers)

  Posted by Beckie Tunnicliffe on June 29, 2024 at 10:54 am

  Hi everyone! Hope you are all well 🙂

  At the weekend a lot of my young singers took part in a competition, and I received some feedback in that one of the reasons they didn’t get through to the next round is because they sung “like a child” or of their age (7-10 years old), whereas the children of the same age who did do well did so because they have a more “mature” and “grown up” voice.

  I’m not quite sure how to go about this in terms of ‘maturing’ their voice…does anyone have any tips to help with this or is it just a case of the vocal cords will mature as they get older? I’m just asking as I know a few parents will probably approach me about this over the next few weeks for when competition season comes round again next year.
