As I listened to 4 young, very talented children get up and sing at church this week, I thought, "I really need to teach my kids how to sing." But where do I begin? I'm not much to listen to, myself. And maybe not one of them will ever be able to get up in front of an audience, or even enjoy it, but I must at least give them the opportunity. So I began to search for curriculum. A workbook, or lesson book, an online resource, something. But I came up with nothing.
Then we had ourbaseball game and invited this talented family, and while talking about it with their mother and my other friend with a few talented kids of her own, they told me that the kids learned to sing by just begining to sing. Plain and simple. They all gather around the piano, pick a song and sing their hearts out. Hey, I never tried that.
So that's what we're going to do. I'm sure there will be a few complaints at first. And we may have to shut the windows to be kind to the neighbors. ;)
Now, some of us already are wonderful singers...

I think Joshua needs to show his singing in the spotlight. Poor kid had to sing over Grace to get heard. To help your kids harmonize, I will promise not to sing with them. You should get grandma Connie to agree to this also. Poor kids don't have a chance at learning how to sing well from this side of the family. KV
O thats great!
It was very ambitious of you to start with a foreign language piece. ;P
(I do love that idea though. I may have to do something similar.)
well kv just doesn't like my singing but the little ones always like me to sing them to sleep and they know to go right to sleep so I will stop. and she is right singing will never come from our side of the family. By the way what language was Grace singing in??? Grandma Connie
lol If anyone thinks that they are going to get their singing talent from our side of the family all I can say is, "that's funny!". ;)
