Is a good singing voice required or necessary to become an ECE Teacher?

Question

I have Child Development Education and experience. I enjoy children and music. But, I cannot carry a tune. Would that affect my ability in this profession?

Answer 1

no- as long as you share your passion of music with children and expose them to a variety of musical experiences, they will feed off of your enthusiam.

Best of luck!

Answer 2

No I couldnt sing worth anything! But the kids loved it! I taught Head Start for 5 years and daycare for 3 before that. As long as you're loud, controlled and you know how to have fun with it, they LOVE it!

Answer 3

no because it's not about the voice it's about teaching.

Answer 4

Not at all. If you're a good teacher and care about your students, carrying a tune is not a requirement. Your students won't mind, as long as you engage in activities with them and treat them all with respect, they'll like your voice regardless.

Best of luck.
