Voice Training
Voice training is above all on the basis of singing songs, but small exercises and games are also used to seek to extend the voice, lightness, singing in tune, etc. Breathing and bodily awareness are worked on together.

Songs also form the basis for work on rhythm and beat, through accompaniment with Orff instruments, as well as body movements, small dances and/or representation of songs.
