🎤 5 Fun and Easy Vocal Warm-Ups Every Kid Can Do at Home
Hi mom’s, here’s some simple, fun, and effective ways to help your child warm up their voice before singing.
Whether your kids have started voice lessons for or just love to sing around the house, vocal warm-ups are essential for healthy singing and building confidence.
At Metairie Music Academy, we specialize in beginner singing lessons for kids ages 5–12, and we make learning music exciting, energetic, and full of joy! Here are 5 fun and easy vocal warm-ups your child can do right at home — no piano needed!
1. 🎈 The Lip Bubble (aka Lip Trills)
How to do it: Have your child gently blow air through closed lips so they flutter, making a “brrrr” sound. Try going up and down like a siren.
Why it works: This warms up the vocal cords without strain and teaches breath control in a fun, silly way!
2. 🐍 Hissing Snake Breaths
How to do it: Take a deep belly breath, then slowly release the air on a steady “sssssss” sound.
Why it works: This builds breath support, a key skill in strong singing. Make it a game—who can hiss the longest?
3. 😄 Silly Faces + Sirens
How to do it: Make big, exaggerated faces while doing siren sounds (start low and slide up high, then back down).
Why it works: Loosens up facial muscles, jaw, and vocal range. Kids love the silliness, and it gets great results!
4. 🐵 Mmm–Ahh–Eee Monkey Sounds
How to do it: Say “Mmm-Ahh-Eee” slowly, exaggerating the vowels and using hand motions.
Why it works: Helps kids practice vowel shapes and mouth placement—vital for clear tone in beginner singing lessons.
5. 🦋 The “Buzzing Bee” (Humming Exercise)
How to do it: Hum gently on a single note like a buzzing bee. Try going up and down the scale like a glide.
Why it works: Humming is a gentle way to activate the voice and practice pitch control without shouting or strain.
🎶 Pro Tip from Metairie Music Academy:
Warm-ups only need 5 to 10 minutes to be effective. Try doing these before practice, before school, or even in the car! Repetition helps your child feel confident, relaxed, and ready to sing with joy.
