To achieve this, do not just move down the row of students for individual responses. You can assess their progress and enjoy hearing them sing in smaller groups. Solo opportunities can be created by designating certain song phrases to be sung by someone alone. It is especially helpful when the solo begins in a part of the vocal range that requires use of the head register. Use any three objects that the students can recognize and that can fit comfortably in their close-fisted hands.
Students close their eyes and put their open hands, palms up, out in front of themselves.
The class then echoes what you sang. Repeat for each object. The patterns may be the same for each object or different. During this singing, place each object in a child's hand. Use this opportunity to give helpful suggestions to the students regarding their singing.
