A Young Singer’s Journey: An Integrated Approach to Musical Literacy

Music is a universal language, and it is one best learned at a young age! An early beginning in music will prepare children for future success in many fields. A Young Singer’s Journey offers the materials to equip children with the tools they need to enter the world of music. Six workbooks are offered in this exciting curriculum published by Hinshaw Music, filled with fun music activities that will enhance aural skills, sight-singing abilities, and music memorization. This music theory curriculum for children is suitable for both public and private instruction.

Children will be taught sight-singing using the solfege method. This method can be applied to any piece of music that they may come across in the future. This method includes musical interval training, so students will be able to quickly identify pitches. The musicianship skills developed in this course are not only useful in singing, but they also apply to all other instruments.

Individually-Paced Music Education

All children learn at a different speed, and this individually-paced music course allows children to approach the art of music in a way that is uniquely their own. Tasks may be completed at the instructor’s chosen pace, and each level completed will bring students closer to music proficiency.

A Young Singer’s Journey offers exceptional training for a future in music performance and music education. Each workbook is filled with stimulating activities to increase note-reading ability – including fill-in-the-blank stories, word puzzles, and flash card terms. Downloadable audio tracks, vocal warm-ups, and sight-singing exercises are included with each booklet. Children will be taught to identify key signatures, which will help them quickly understand a piece of music and eventually perform it with precision.

Authors are highly experienced in the fields of music education geared toward preparing young singers for a musical future. Students will enjoy the process as visible progress toward music proficiency is made.

From a beginning in identifying simple notes on a keyboard, to more advanced sight-singing of classical pieces with difficult meters and rhythms, this music theory-based curriculum will engage children’s curiosity and excite them about learning.

Give children the gift of music education – it is one that will help them bring joy to others, and it will last a lifetime!
