Lebendiger Kinderchor

A practical book for working with vowels with children aged 8 to 12. Singing means personal development, which involves more than just performing songs. Illustrated with clear photos, drawings, and musical examples, and organized thematically, this book includes: breathing, speech, and voice games, rhythm and movement games, listening and invention games, dances and songs, aids for tone space visualization and intonation, models for classroom practice, as well as detailed background information and explanations for all games and topics. The close interconnection between singing, making music, speaking, and moving is made transparent and practically presented through the musical competence of the author. It successfully describes ways for children to engage with their artistic expression in a vivid manner. A variety of teaching and learning forms, methods, tools, and aesthetic experiential processes are introduced, allowing the reader to enjoyably trace the process of appropriation from experience to structure.
