Susan Anders says:
?Many kids voice teachers and choir directors have used my vocal workouts, since kids would rather sing songs than scales. But the workouts are meant for grown up voices. I designed this method with growing kid voices in mind. I tested it on kids to make sure they liked it. The song lyrics are kid-friendly and the method is gentle. This is a vocal warmup, not a workout, to help kids warm up vocally while learning some singing basics."
