Wht did you sing as a child??

Answer 1

Jingle Bells 60 times before the Christmas concert!

Answer 2

Great question! I attended Kindergarten through 3rd grade in the same school, and we had musical programs every year for the parents. The school I attended after that didn't have such programs. I'd love to know what music book they used in that school but haven't taken the time to track it down.



I remember singing these songs:



Kindergarten

My Country Tis of Thee (America)

This Land Is Your Land

Pussywillow Song

Letter People (reading program) songs - each letter had a little ditty written about it ("I'm Mr. M, with a munchy mouth...")



1st-3rd Grades

Mama Paquita

Scratch Me Back

Michigan, My Michigan

Up With People

Señor Don Gato

The Cat Came Back

Horsey, Horsey

The Ghost of John

Stirring My Brew

The Happy Wanderer

Down in the Valley

We Are Marching To Pretoria

Red River Valley

Happy Song

Never Smile at a Crocodile

Sing, Sing a Song

Kum ba ya

Frere Jacques

Michael Row the Boat Ashore (when we learned about singing in rounds)



Oh, I did just remember learning a couple of songs in 5th grade at the other school:



Give My Regards to Broadway

Bless the Beasts and the Children



Thanks for letting me reminisce!!

Answer 3

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/eYNH4 an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.

Answer 4

I went to French school as a kid so we sang things like Frère Jacques, Allouette, Sur le Pont D'avignon and stuff like that. At Christmas they would make us sing a really lame one called Petit Papa Noël. *shudders* When I got older I joined a real choir.
