22 Feb 01 - 08:51 AM (#403620) Subject: Sing. Do NOT speak From: GUEST,Spaceman How can I teach a six year old child in a class how to sing rather than speak? Will that come with a lot of singing in the classroom and by providing her with opportunities to sing? |

22 Feb 01 - 08:58 AM (#403623) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: GUEST,Everest Spaceman, we seem to have similar problems and a similar approach to teaching. |

22 Feb 01 - 09:33 AM (#403650) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: SINSULL It worked for Rex Harrison. Maybe it's just her style. I am not trying to be rude here - but are your classes fun? Are your choices of music fun? If this little girl enjoys singing, she will learn a lot faster and participate more readily. Joe Offer has a wealth of information on children's songs. Ask him. |

22 Feb 01 - 11:28 AM (#403739) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: Alice Try teaching some songs that go to games, like jump rope songs, hand clapping songs. It sounds like shyness to me, too. If you can get them singing on the playground while they play games, it may help encourage her. |

22 Feb 01 - 11:42 AM (#403753) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: catspaw49 Nice that you could post Everest Guest, since you do so little of it! And how nice you should find the Spaceman thread! Gee, you do have a similar approach to teaching and you do share the same problems! Amazing! Well, maybe not since you both share the same computer and the same DNA...........I'm beginning to love this stuff!!! Spaw |

22 Feb 01 - 11:46 AM (#403761) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: GUEST,UB Dan I like Gray Rooster's idea of humming...a similar idea is to introduce the students to the joys of the kazoo. kazoo's are loud and fun and even the most introverted child can be convinced to play along. |

22 Feb 01 - 06:48 PM (#404121) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: Jo Taylor Why are there so many postings from this guest who purports to be a music teacher, yet appears to lack the most basic knowledge of teaching methods? Is someone taking the p**s? Jo Taylor |

It's total nonsense, teacher training and education standards might be maligned but it can't be this bad. (On the other hand p'raps I could get a post teaching astro-physics if it's that easy to get a job...) Jo Taylor |

23 Feb 01 - 06:01 AM (#404404) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: Wolfgang If you're in doubt, open two windows and search in parallel for the postings of 'Everest' and 'Spaceman'. Look at the posting times in the different threads. Then you'll be convinced. However, disregard the GUEST,Everest posting in this thread that led Spaw down the garden path (though he was on the point, in general). That was me, mocking about Spaceman and using his other identity for that purpose. Wolfgang |

23 Feb 01 - 03:20 PM (#404736) Subject: RE: Sing. Do NOT speak From: UB Ed One evening, after a particularly trying conversation, my ex-wife asked if I could possibly talk without speaking. And that was before Bono used that line! Its been fascinating watching these various bogus threads. The mockery is creatively sublime. Imagine what Space could accomplish constructively? |
