Can someone please help me brainstorm a better way to teach this concept.
I have a couple of kiddo's in my jr. primary that cannot grasp the concept of singing vs. screaming. I've demonstrated more times than I can explain, and talked, talked, talked, talked, talked. I've talked about singing not being shouting, if you can feel your veins popping from your neck that's screaming! :-) I've stopped the song and made us start over. Unfortunately they are my best jr. primary singers and everyone follows their lead. They will quiet down, but then it's too quiet, and if I tell them I need more volume we are back up to screaming. There is no middle sound. I have two weeks left (and they are the program practice sunday's) to try and teach this. Any ideas? I'm in a quandry at trying to teach getting sound to the back of the cultural hall, but doing it in a 'lovely' way. I've always used some type of picture to let them know I need more volume or cupped my ears, or had someone sitting in the back, etc...but I'm not sure what to do about my screamers?
