When working with teens and adults, the repertoire of songs broadens. It’s important to pick songs that help develop a singers’ breath, artistry, technique, and vocal range. For example, One Call Away, One Thousand Years, and Can’t Falling in Love using both upper and lower registers. The tempo is slow enough to focus on good tonal production and helps develop breath control. These songs also help with simple diction and phrasing along with learning the basics of diphthongs. Songs like Shake it Off by Taylor Swift are upbeat but repetitive. Because of the repetitive nature of the songs, it allows the singer to focus on style and adding their own spice while performing it.
Of course, picking appropriate songs is not just related to age but also preference of style and taste. Certain singers have a proclivity towards a certain genre of music. And within that genre, there are many beginning levels songs for jazz, rock, blues, pop, classical, Indi rock, and musical theater.
