Does anybody know what's the range of six years old children?

Furthermore what is the difference of elementary school childrens' range with the range of teenagers of ages 12-15 years olds and of teenagers of 15-18 years olds?

Most of the six year olds in my class have a range of about ten feet with a pencil, slightly more with a unifix cube!!!

Probably several hundred yards if you have a trechebut big enough to handle a 50-75 pound missle.

Most of the 6 year olds I know are free range, but I'd love to see 'em caged up!

Peach, I think we need a little more detail. Do you mean average vocal range for singing? Or are you looking for behavioral,growth, or cognition norms? The question is so general it invites all kinds of answers....

Wait a minute Peach! You sound like you're either writing a thesis or a lesson plan for a wierd role-playing game with the kids. There are all kinds of ranges with children and young adults; Physical, emotional, cognitive, etcetera. However, with chickens it's only a physical distance thing. Which range are we talking about here?

Of which you have recieved several already. My first inclination was to say most 6 year olds range between 2191 days and 2556 days old - but realized you did mean vocal range.

6 year olds are mainly going to have a treble range - the 12 to 15 year olds are going to be a mixed bag and so are the 15-18 year olds. Some of your oldest group may have voices that are still settling down to an adult range - others may have more or less stable voices.

the 12-15 year old age group will probably have the most variation in vocal range - and it may vary from minute to minute!!!!

Can anyone out there tell Peach the vocal range of a six year old chicken?

I thought something looked funny. I just found my glasses and this thread's starting to make a little more sense to me now. Sorry Peach for the confusion over here.

Let's not drag this chicken thing out too much. I'm sorry, it was an honest mistake. Without my glasses children look like chickens.

My oil furnace is out and I'm trying to heat with green wood. Very chilly in here now. Eye-hand-brain coordination not good. As you can imagine, it's a strange world for me without my glasses. I feel like Mr. McGoo.

Most 6 year olds can sing a comfortable Major sixth, some a good octave, and some beyond. It depends on their training, etc. I like to stay from B flat (below mid. C) to C above mid. C as a MAXIMUM, with C - A as the most comfortable range. Encourage them to use a "singing" rather than a "speaking" range, and they'll have no trouble learning to use their head voices. Watch very chromatic songs...half steps are a killer. HTH - Jan

JanG, You've pretty well covered the topic of "singing and speaking ranges" in children, but I used to teach art and kids also have a "sreaming range" Any comments? wdyat12

What is the average vocal range for singing of students of 1) six years old 2) 9 years old and 3) but not least 11 years old? And also 13 years old? Any particular aspects of their growing voice I should pay attention to?
