Lesson 5: Vocal warm-up

Concepts: Learn how to safely warm up your voice. 

Preparation:

• Each child needs a straw.

Introduction:

Today, we will focus on different vocal warm-ups. We will specifically look at the police car for this.

Exercise 1:

When police cars chase thieves, they turn on their sirens. Start with a police siren warm-up. The children should mimic the sound of a police car siren. 

Exercise 2:

The police car's engine also makes a humming sound. Have the children make the humming sound of a car engine with their lips. 

Exercise 3:

If there are animals crossing the road in front of the police car, the police officer honks the horn. Use the straws to make honking sounds. 

Exercise 4:

Call and response song:

A call and response song is when the teacher sings something, and the children repeat it.
