Every great voice lesson doesn't have to begin with scales. Sometimes it should begin with a question.

Before We Sing gives voice teachers a simple, fun way to connect with their students before diving into the day's singing and musicianship work.

These aren't complicated icebreakers or serious discussion prompts. They're simply fun conversation starters designed to help you get to know the person behind the voice.

Some questions are silly. Some are thoughtful. Some might lead to a surprisingly meaningful conversation. And some are simply there to make everyone laugh.

Inside the Deck

52 conversation cards total

• 4 cards for each month of the year
• Seasonal, but not holiday-specific questions
• 4 additional bonus cards
• Designed with young singers in mind
• Approximately ages 7–12

Use one card at the beginning of each lesson, let the student choose, or keep the deck handy and grab one whenever you need a fun way to begin.

Digital download: print your own cards and keep them in your studio for years of lessons.

A Little More Connection. A Little More Fun.

Before We Sing was created by a voice teacher who uses these cards in her own lessons and whose students have been known to get pretty disappointed when she forgets to do the question of the day. 

Because before we work on the voice, sometimes it's nice to get to know the singer.
