Tips for Teaching Songs
1. Be familiar with the song so you don't need to use a song sheet or book as a "crutch". 2. Sing the song through first. 3. Say the words phrase by phrase and have the group repeat. 4. Sing the song together 3 times or until known - but don't wear it out. 5. If a song has several verses, teach one verse at a time. 6. Begin with simple songs and move on to more difficult ones later on. 7. You give the starting note. Avoid pitching the song too high or too low. 8. Songs may be taught using tapes or CD's as well, just follow the procedure above. |
