035 - How to Help Children Develop Their Singing Voices
Episode description
According to church musician and educator, Helen Kemp, 17% of children need help finding their singing voices. These are the children who often sing with a very limited range, default to chanting low in the voice instead of singing, and/or have trouble matching pitch.

In this episode, I'm sharing six practical teaching strategies you can use with your students.
