Opening Up The High Notes (Singing Teachers)
-
Might be worth her going to the doctors in that case. Otherwise, trying steaming?
Your Song is a great option, I use Ellie Goulding’s version for beginner singers who are a little quieter/shyer and there’s only really one high bit… give it a go, definitely rather than eliminating the high range completely. It may just take practice, but in small doses, which that song is perfect for! Good luck:)

Some ideas for getting more strength/flexibility into those high notes:
1. Can she do a tongue-trill or a lip bubble? These sounds are GREAT for working up higher.
2. Can she go “woooo!” like you would at a gig or sports match? This sound might trick her into finding some ease and release up the top.
At the end of the day, don’t be afraid of spending a lot of time up high on nice relaxing sounds – the more time she spends there the more comfy it’ll be :).

Ok – I’ve essentially worked out that she is just not singing in head voice. The notes are fine, it’s just getting her to sing in head voice!
I’ve tried the ‘woos’ and she really struggles to move into her head voice, she can’t hold it for more than 1 or 2 seconds before the sound stops.
She hasn’t been doing too bad with ‘Your Song’, I wouldn’t say she is ready to do Grade 2 yet though.

at 12 years of age the voice is not matured.The vocal cords are not matured.Stay with nature,if high notes are not coming into being when all other stages of technical training,are correct,let the voice work naturally to where it is comfortable.Incidently you havent mentioned what the high notes are?
