Here are some important things to remember to keep our voices healthy: Ms Helen Magri

Ø Drink water Ø Don’t drink too many fizzy or sugary drinks Ø Eat healthily and exercise regularly Ø Get enough sleep Ø Rest your voice if you have been talking or singing a lot Ø If you are sick, rest your voice Ø Avoid shouting or talking loudly Ø Avoid whispering – talk quietly instead Ms Helen Magri

Before we do PE or sports activities, we need to do warm up exercises so we don’t hurt ourselves. Ms Helen Magri

Before we sing, we need to do vocal warm up exercises so we don’t hurt our voice. We will also sing better if we do these exercises. Ms Helen Magri
