First Steps in
Music Vocal
Development Kit
For more than twenty years, John M. Feierabend has
been a leader in helping young children develop their
singing voices. Now, with the First Steps in Music Vocal
Development Kit, teachers can use many of Feierabend’s
favorite tools and techniques with students every day!
In this essential kit, Feierabend includes puppets,
toys, and instruments designed to help with two types
of vocal development activities. Pitch Exploration
Activities invite children to create sliding sounds and encourage them to use their
head voices. Echo Songs and Call-and-Response Songs allow children to use their
newly found head voices to sing short melodic phrases. A wonderful variety of activity
ideas are found in this manual.
Whether used in conjunction with the First Steps in Music curriculum or
independently, the activities in this kit will help develop and maintain healthy vocal
fitness in students of all ages.
