includedClass Experience
Classes will focus on singing fundamentals, sight-reading, music theory, and performance. Areas we will work on are proper posture; warm-up exercises; vocal warm-ups; breath control, and voice range. The classes will follow the "Singing for Little Singers" books, which covers Voice, Ear-Training, and Sight Singing for children. Unit 1 covers fundamentals like posture, breathing, physical and vocal warm ups. Unit 2 introduces Solfege Notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, etc . . . ), the C major scale for singing, and notes on the musical staff. Unit 3 covers vowel shapes for the mouth, stepping notes, and short songs "Down By the Station" and "Oats and Beans and Barlety Grow". Unit 4.covers skipping notes and short songs in the key of F. Subsequent units will cover more vocal techniques, ear training, and songs. Students will also learn songs from Hal Leonard's "Solos for Kids" and other pieces of interest. There are 11 units in the first book and it takes approximately one year to complete.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Harry Wilkinson, but I am better known as "Mr. Harry". I have been teaching music, movement, piano, voice, storytelling and drama for over 25 years. I've taught at music studios, elementary schools, day camps and private settings throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
I specialize in working with young learners from preschool through 3rd grade but I do teach all ages, even adults! I offer a variety of classes including theme-based, music-integrated STEAM activities, Creative Movement, Pre-K/K Music, Group and Private Piano and Voice lessons, Drama, and Improv.
I love performing whether it's singing, acting or playing keyboard, and I love film. I am a big fan of Star Trek, Marvel, and most brands of sf/fantasy! I also enjoy spending time with my dog Angel, who loves to going on hikes and dog agility.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
