Here I go again. My 2 cents worth. I was and am still opposed to "formal" voice training for pre-adolescents. But there is a difference in teaching a young child and an adolescent. I once was very staunch in not taking younger children for a student. But after teaching a number of years I succumbed to the number of parents who sought me out. I see no harm in working with children helping them with pitch matching, singing in a nice head voice. Even correct breathing. There is a difference in this and trying to make an 8 year old sound like a 15 year old.
Stepping off the soap box now.
