We tried to use a variety of learning methods, forms and materials to successfully organize and implement music activities, and to identify the specifics and possibilities for the preschool children to sing in a choir. We tried to come up with the following findings: what should be done to properly form and set up a children’s choir; what learning methods should be used with the choir in order to motivate children; which breathing exercises should be used for such young choir singers; which technical exercises should be used with children singing in the choir (melodic exercises and voice impostation), which are the proper learning topics and methods to develop a sense of rhythm; which is the right methodological approach to use when teaching music to preschool children. We believe that by organizing and completing these tasks with properly planned actions, we would be able to encourage, monitor and develop a wide range of different music skills of preschool children.
