Hello and welcome to sing your heart out, a one hour one time class to find our voices and sing loud and proud for all to hear. In this one time class we will be learning the basics of singing including how to warm up our voices, how to 'stand like a singer' and how to perform confidently. We will begin with a 5-10 minute introduction of student and me as their teacher, we will then move on to the all important warm up where we will perform lots of fun activities to warm our voices up this will last for 15 minutes. What noise does a cow make? and how would it sound if a cow were to sing? Moving on we will cover the correct posture for singing. feet banana width apart, bouncy knees ( boing, boing ) etc this section of the class will also be for 15 minutes. We will then spend the last 20 minutes of the class learning a simple song ( Do-re-mi the sound of music) so we can implement everything we have worked hard on for the first half of the class. There is nothing better than singing loudly and proudly! My teaching style is very fun yet structured. I love to implement relevant topics into my classes to aid the explanation of the tasks we are performing. I always encourage questions and teach by this motto. "This class is a safe space for us all too enjoy, we will be supportive of our fellow class mates and we will always encourage them." I do like to set this intention at the beginning for all students so we are all able to get the most from the class. The student will interact with me throughout the class and will have the option to interact with the other students during specific tasks. I will always give positive feedback during class to encourage the learners. I will also send feedback to parents on completion of the class with constructive things the learner can do to improve. This class is for complete beginners and those who need a boost in confidence and technique.
Learning Goals
Our Goal in this class is to build confidence and most importantly have fun learning the basic fundamentals of singing.

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-be-see
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your heads
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Can you do that?
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Now, put it all together
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Good!
But it doesn't mean anything
So we put in words
One word for every note
Like this
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
Do So Do
Re La Fa
Mi Mi Do
Fa Re
So So Do
La La Fa
Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do oh oh Ti Do So Do
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is poppy and I am a singing teacher with over 8 years experience offering private 1-1 classes in singing technique, musical theatre, Confidence in singing and practice for singing events. I have been teaching singing for the past 8 years and have done so all over the uk working with children ages 4 to 18. I have also worked as a professional singer over the years and have been a part of multiple touring shows.
I believe every person can sing and should feel confident doing so. I always teach technique in my class and really focus on the student's confidence in using their voice wether that is singing or using there speaking voice. Singing brings so much joy and I believe it is good for your mind and soul.
I am an avid musical theatre fan and love to sing a show tune or two. I have a cat named Rogue who is sometimes my email assistant. You will often find me with a mug of coffee reading a good book.
