Features of development of the voice device of the child, the concept of the choir and its composition

This article highlights the age-old types of children's voices in choral communities. If the singing classes at the school are well organized and the singing education of students from the first grade is going well, then by the age of 9–10, the voices of the children begin to sound especially good. This period is called the "flowering" of the voice. In boys, the voice acquires a special sonority, “silvery”; individual voices can already be observed in the voices of the girls. The voice apparatus of young children is very fragile. Its mechanism is still simple in structure; sound originating in the larynx is formed during the marginal vibration of the vocal cords. They do not close completely, between them at the moment of sound formation there remains a small gap in their entire length-this is natural, natural. And for the performance of choral miniatures a cappella, they are specially addressed to choirs of medium and small composition, due to the chamber nature of their sound, a more modest number of participants is preferable8
