Your Amazing Singing Voice
Did you know that YOUR voice is a musical instrument? Just like a guitar, a piano, or a drum, your voice can make music! And the best part? You carry your instrument with you everywhere you go.
When you sing, air comes up from your lungs and passes through your vocal cords in your throat. Your vocal cords are two tiny flaps that vibrate really fast when air passes through them. That vibration makes sound! Then your mouth, tongue, and lips shape the sound into words and melodies.
Your voice can do amazing things:
It can sing HIGH notes (like a bird tweeting) and LOW notes (like a bear growling).
It can sing LOUD (like a lion roaring) and SOFT (like a mouse whispering).
It can sing FAST (like a train) and SLOW (like a snail).
It can sing SMOOTH (like flowing water) and CHOPPY (like bouncing balls).
Everyone's voice is unique. No one in the whole world sounds exactly like you when you sing. Your voice is one of a kind, and it is wonderful!
