We start each class with a vocal warm-up or pitch exploration activity. Especially at a young age, this is important for our students to figure out how their voices work.
Preschoolers have been working on pitch exploration with "Big Pig." In this poem, they explore their "high squeaky voice" and their "low pig voice."
Where are you going, big pig, big pig?
Out in the garden to dig, dig, dig.
Out in the garden to dig, dig, dig?
Shame on you big pig, big pig!
I'm sorry ma'am, but I'm only a pig,
And all I can do is dig, dig, dig.
Hear Mrs. Mueller's preschool class recite this poem in the video below.
