In every small village they visit, The Kids Are Running Wild notice the same magical thing — kids humming.
Kids singing quietly to themselves.
Kids curious about music long before they ever touch a microphone.
Many of these children have dreams bigger than their surroundings, and the band believes every voice deserves a chance to be heard. That’s why, during their charity tour, they began hosting mini singing workshops for kids who’ve never had access to formal lessons.
Here’s a little glimpse of how they help young dreamers find their voice.
🌄 Music Starts with a Feeling
On their mountain stopover, the band gathered a small group of kids under a tree. Instead of saying “sing this note,” they asked:
“How does singing make you feel?”
Some kids answered shyly:
“Happy.”
“Excited.”
“Brave.”
And that was enough.
Because singing isn’t just technique — it’s emotion.
It starts inside, not outside.
🎤 Step 1: Warm Up Like You’re Waking Up
Kids in rural areas often copy what the band does. When warming up, The Kids Are Running Wild keep it fun and familiar:
- “Yawn like a sleepy lion.”
- “Hum like a bee.”
- “Slide your voice like you’re going down a slide — wheee!”
Warm-ups shouldn’t feel strict.
They should feel like play.
Music should always feel like play.
🌬️ Step 2: Teach Them the Secret Power of Breath
Many young singers try to force strong notes, but the band gently shows them:
“Singing doesn’t come from your throat — it comes from your breath.”
They teach kids to breathe deeply using their bellies, letting their shoulders stay relaxed. Slowly, the children realize singing feels easier, smoother, more natural.
Like their voices belong to them.
🎵 Step 3: Let Them Choose Their Song
Instead of picking a “correct” song, the band asks:
“What’s your favorite song right now?”
Suddenly the shy ones raise their hands.
Because every kid has a favorite tune.
When kids choose the song, something changes—they sing with confidence. They sing with joy. They sing like they finally belong in the moment.
🌟 Step 4: Celebrate Every Voice
The biggest lesson the band teaches?
Every voice is unique.
Every voice has value.
Every voice matters.
Some kids sing softly.
Some sing loud.
Some sing on pitch.
Some discover pitch slowly.
But every child leaves with a smile, because someone believed in them.
💛 More Than Music: Building Confidence
These singing sessions do more than teach music:
- They build courage.
- They spark creativity.
- They heal shyness.
- They strengthen community.
When the band packs up their guitars at the end of the day, kids are still singing behind them — louder, happier, braver.
And that’s the real purpose of the tour.
✨ Final Note
The Kids Are Running Wild don’t just sing to kids — they sing with them.
They teach them that their voices matter, their dreams matter, and that music can open doors even in the quietest corners of the world.
Because sometimes, all a child needs is one person to say:
“Your voice is beautiful. Keep singing.”
