Pitch Activity Book - Have You Brought Your Singing Voice?

"Have You Brought Your Singing Voice?" is an engaging activity book designed to introduce children to the concept of pitch and vocal variation. This interactive resource encourages young learners to explore their voices through a simple call and response chant, which is both fun and educational. The activity is structured to help children experiment with different types of voices, such as talking, whispering, and singing, and to practice pitch-matching, an essential skill in musical development. The chant promotes active participation and is an excellent tool for teachers to assess their students' vocal abilities and confidence in a group setting.

The book outlines a sequence of vocal exercises, starting with a normal talking voice and gradually introducing other vocal styles like whispering, louder speaking, sad, and excited voices. The progression leads to singing at different pitches, starting with the note C (Do), then E (Mi), G (So), and returning to C (Do), allowing children to experience a range of notes. These exercises are not only beneficial for musical learning but also for enhancing communication skills and emotional expression. The activity book provides a foundation for countless variations, adapting to the needs and creativity of both educators and students, making it a versatile addition to any music education curriculum.
