Parental Guidance

Potentially Upsetting or Challenging Content: Performance Anxiety: Some learners may feel nervous about singing in front of others, even in a group setting. The class will foster a judgment-free, encouraging atmosphere to ease anxiety. Physical Warm-Ups: Some stretching or movement exercises may feel unfamiliar to learners who are not used to physical activity. These will be gentle and adaptable to individual comfort levels. Vocal Challenges: Expanding range, breath control, and resonance can be physically demanding, and some learners may feel frustrated if they struggle at first. Safety Precautions: Proper Hydration: Students should have water available to keep their voices hydrated. Vocal Health Awareness: Avoid pushing the voice too hard—students will be encouraged to listen to their bodies and rest if needed. Safe Movement Practices: Warm-ups will be light, but students should have enough space to move comfortably and avoid strain. Respect for Individual Limits: No student will be forced to sing alone or beyond their current ability level.
