lynda,
that's an excellent point. i think what prevents kids from doing so
is they are under the impression that they should be behaving rather than
playing, while they are singing in an organized situation. of course, it is
a lot easier said than done to get children to channel their play through
singing, especially if they are singing as a group.
i feel that most people have sounds they can already make that can be
used to put their singing together with. the advantages of using sounds
they can already make is that, they can already make the sound and, that the
sound is 'natural' (habitual) to them. the process of singing is then an
expression of that person's vocal history rather than something that always
feels somewhat like a parasite.
