  • SING - Do you like you like to sing? Sing a song (any song!) for a friend or family member today.
  • THINK - Singing is important for people all over the world. Why do you think people like to sing? Think of some places or events where singing is important. How many of these are a part of your life?
  • WATCH - Watch How Do We Sing? to learn how your voice works.
  • EXPERIMENT - Visit Voicescienceworks.org and explore how your voice works through different vocal exercises and experiments!

Happy exploring!
