Playing Musically: Developing Healthy and Expressive Singing Instrumentalists
Weimer, Kristina R.; Rutkowski, Joanne
Music Educators Journal, v109 n4 p42-50 Jun 2023
When working with beginning instrumentalists, many music educators emphasize executive skills specific to the mechanics of playing an instrument. However, beginning students can also benefit from focused vocal instruction as a complement to their musical growth in the instrumental setting. Because instrumental music educators may feel ill equipped to implement vocal strategies, it is important to arm instrumental music teachers with practical tools specific to students' singing voices. In this article, we share the benefits of vocal instruction in the instrumental music classroom, considerations for the changing voice, and specific strategies for applying singing activities to help students' musical development. The activities and strategies provided opportunities for students to create, perform, and respond to music in a variety of ways while developing their singing voices and strong musicianship skills and knowledge, promoting lifelong music engagement.
