Chapter 9 Summary
Oren Brown:
Summary: This
chapter is all about using your voice carefully, especially helping young
singers to not over sing. Those young voices that are "required" to
have a sound beyond their years almost all end up ruining their careers as
singers because the overuse their voice. Young voices who have not grown
through puberty have larynx's that are not fully developed. This is why young
kids sound airy and have a thin sound. They literally cannot sing with a full
sound with out exerting too much effort and ruining their voices. There are
lots of things that are similar to fully developed larynxs. These are the
things that need to be worked on with young singers. You must always help them
to develop a free and easy tone.
Key Concept: Some
things are similar and some things are different when you teach young voices;
the important thing is that you help them to sing free and easy! Never strain
their voices!
Key Terms:?
Making Connections:
I LOVE the list found on page 93. It is a very clear list of things that you
can work on with young singers. If I ever teach younger voices, I will know
what to focus on!
