Pitch Exploration Pathways
John Feierabend. These drawings provide inspiration
for children to make sliding sounds that explore the
vocal muscles used to sing in the upper register or,
"head voice." Just as an athlete warms up certain
muscle groups before exercising, singers should
"warm up" the head voice muscles with activities
such as these before singing. Vocal ability will
improve if these pathways are used frequently.
