The singing teacher as vocal parent

Vocal parenting is a pedagogical approach that views the teachingof singing to children as a nurturing process. It encompasses the development of fundamentally sound vocal technique, guidance in repertoire selection and performance practices, and concern for the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the child as a singer, performer, and person. Role-play and storytelling are among the strategies employed to fully integrate vocal technique with the personality of the singer.
