DISCUSSION
Sing-Along with Papa and Mama
Do you easily recognize the voice of every member of your family even if you can't see who is speaking or who is singing? Can you identify the voice of your mother from the voice of your father? Remember the weekend afternoons that you get to sing videoke with your mother and father? Your mother has a soft and fine voice while your father has a low and strong voice. You enjoy watching and listening to them as they sang. You had fun and you even joined in their singing.
Is it not exciting that you are able to recognize the voices of your mother and father as you sing with them?
Humans have a speaking voice used naturally every day to be able to communicate.
What is the difference between the speaking voice and the singing voice?
Speaking voice generally uses a low volume and low pitch range.
Singing voice uses a much wider range of volume and pitch. It has a melody or tune that flows nicely just like the tones that are made by the piano, flute, guitar, and other musical instruments.
In the following illustrations, be able to explain their action. Talk about the quality of sound for each one.
Singing
What is timbre?
Our voice has a special sound. We use it in many ways like speaking, singing, crying, reciting a poem, whispering, whistling, humming, and shouting. This is what we call tone color or timbre.
Beautiful sounds can be made through our voice, the different parts of our body, and different objects around us.
Listen to the recording that your teacher will play in class. Be ready to identify the different sources of sounds that you will hear. Be quiet and listen carefully. After this, you may imitate the sounds heard using different objects available in the classroom or even just your own body parts.
