Open your mouth to sing!
Sing with confidence, not just volume.

Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.

Listen to your neighbours, not just yourself.
Learn some music terms.

Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.
Silence your phone!
Count the rests - all of them!

Practise your music - any time, anywhere!
Smile when you sing!
