Benefits of Children’s Singing Lessons

January 18, 2016 by Lisa Haupert

Benefits of Children’s Singing Lessons: It’s more than you think.

Benefits of Children's Singing Lessons

Singing and Brain Building

  • Singing lessons are fun!
  • Singing lessons can increase confidence!
  • Singing lessons can cause an increase in IQ!

And there’s more.

Children’s singing lessons are much more than helping your child carry a tune more reliably or getting them ready for their school musical. Singing actually exercises regions of the brain that are used in math, spatial understanding, reading and expression of emotion.

Musical training as children can also make them better listeners later in life. Studies suggest that music lessons enhance lifelong listening and learning.

Playing a musical instrument and singing as a child creates new pathways in the brain to process written words and letters.

Even in babies there’s increased smiling, waving, communication, and understanding of pitch with interactive song learning. Babies can actually distinguish scales, chords, and consonant combinations. They can recognize tunes played to them for several days.

Singing lessons causes brain plasticity or neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to change throughout life. The human brain has the ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between brain cells.

Benefits of Children's Singing LessonsNeuro-plastic changes occur in certain areas of the brain in musicians that don’t occur in the brains of others. Researchers found that grey matter (cortex) volume was highest in professional musicians, intermediate in amateur musicians, and lowest in non-musicians in several brain areas.

One of the most amazing benefits of musical training for children is its ability to induce meta plasticity. This is the ability that happens from training in one area which later allows efficient learning and change (or plasticity) in other areas of the brain.

A well-informed singing teacher or voice coach will actually teach your child about neuroplasticity – how the brain changes when it learns music and singing. When children understand that learning changes the structure and function of their brain, they more easily see their progress and anticipate it. This leads to the belief that they can reach their musical goals and get better through study and practice. And that leads to increased commitment, which keeps them studying and practicing!

You can feel doubly good about bringing more musical and singing opportunities into your children’s lives. Not only will they enjoy the immediate benefits of music making, but you are setting them up for a life-time of better functioning brains and abilities that will last the rest of their lives.

Lisa has professional and personal integrity that I completely trust. I have known her for over 10 years. A singer is like an athlete AND an artist. An athlete trains his muscles to make the most out of his ability. An artist needs a coach to guide him to find and connect with his feelings and the essence that makes him different. Lisa is the COMPLETE COACH for singers. It’s an honor to work with her and it’s my pleasure to recommend her to everybody who wants to get the best training there is.

I just completed university auditions and was accepted into the 3 voice programs I most desired to attend. I’ve been working with Mrs. Haupert since I was 12. She has helped me explore the many layers and abilities of my voice. I can now sing in almost any style. That is truly important in the musical theatre world these days. I wouldn’t trade my time with Mrs. Haupert for anything!

Voice lessons with Lisa Haupert are like “vocal performance therapy”! She knows how to get you to apply vocal technique in performance and understands the psychological hang-ups singers may experience. Lisa’s professional encouragement and infectious positivity have been my saviour on many occasions. After my lessons with Lisa, I always feel vocally and mentally refreshed, ready to tackle my next challenge as an entertainer.

My casting opportunities have expanded exponentially since studying with Lisa! I had always been cast as the belter. After working with Lisa I discovered the many nuances of my voice and ended up getting cast as Maria in The Sound of Music! She helped me understand how to play my vocal instrument. She understands the science of the voice, and is able to communicate her knowledge in a vernacular that is easy to grasp, and performance centric.

I had been singing professionally for nearly two years when I had my first lesson with Lisa. It is no exaggeration to say that this was a turning point in my career as a performer. My voice had nearly broken down due to a combination of overuse and poor technique, and I lived in constant fear of losing it and therefore being deprived of my main source of income. Lisa ‘s approach to teaching meant that she was able to deal with the reality that I already sang for a living and that breaking bad ha…

Lisa, one day after our lesson and I’m in the practice room with a huge smile!  The techniques you shared with me yesterday have really helped my routine a great deal already.  I’d love to get together again sometime in the near future.  I’ll definitely be in touch. I just wanted to write to thank you again and share with you how much of a difference I notice today when I’m conscious of the things you taught me.

I was able to take my singing to a whole other level with Lisa.  Before everyone just shrugged when I sang; now I get compliments and applause.   Now I have a wider range, I don’t make funny faces, I have better tone and most importantly, I enjoy singing even more. Recording the lessons causes me to not miss anything and I know exactly what to practice. Five years later I am still working with Lisa and continuing to grow.

Lisa Haupert: Voice teacher or miracle worker?

I had worked with at least half a dozen vocal instructors before finally finding my miracle worker. Somehow Lisa has the ability to really understand where your voice is AND how to get it to where it needs to be, all while making you feel good about yourself in the process! She has the unique ability to instantly feel like your friend…as well as your voice’s friend. After studying with Lisa, I gained new found confidence not only in my voice, but…
