Singing made easy

Teaching materials for teachers in primary schools, subject: Music, grades 1-4. All children love to sing. Whether alone or together with grandma and grandpa, whether lost in thought while playing or fully focused in music class. Singing promotes personality and creativity, and it strengthens speaking and articulation skills—especially for children who do not grow up with German as their first language. Children learn through play. Therefore, vocal games designed for a healthy approach to children's voices are perfect, as they promote singing through targeted exercises—for relaxation, body awareness, breathing, warming up, and loosening up. Our book "Singing Made Easy" follows this approach: it offers child-friendly vocal training and body exercises—always connected with specific song suggestions and ideas for practical implementation. The songs are based on the themes of the seasonal cycle—for example, "Snow" is available in December. For the breathing and voice exercises, you only need a few cotton balls: these can be blown, balanced, and felt. "Little Snowflake" and "Softly Falls the Snow" are particularly suitable for this. Here you will find a variety of ideas for diverse singing lessons throughout the year. The song lyrics and instructions intentionally do not include musical notation—so even as a non-specialist teacher, you can easily join in.
