From the Publisher: This highly effective training tool for kids and their parents or teachers begins that all-important process of teaching truth to kids about singing. Taught by Chris and Carole Beatty and 12-year-old Joshua Drew, this fun-filled, interactive tape presents concepts and songs at a level kids 5-12 can easily understand. It begins by teaching the kids that they are vocal athletes, and that's something they readily understand. From there we move through principles, exercises and songs that teach posture, breathing, tone and how to warm up and cool down the voice. Many school systems as well as homes use these powerful, self-explanatory tools to build a healthy life-long foundation for their kids. To maximize its effectiveness one side is for the kids and one side is for the parent/teacher to prepare them to be good coaches. As a bonus, the accompaniment tracks for all songs are included at the end of the tape. This tape can be ordered alone. No other materials are necessary for instruction. (The cassettes, CD's and videos all offer the same instruction material in different venues.)
