What you need
Adult supervision required, backing track of a whole new world instrumental or karaoke, lyrics printout of a whole new world, mirror, pencil, speaker or headphones, timer or clock, water bottle

Step 1

Stand up and shake out your arms and legs for 20 seconds to wake up your body.

Step 2

Take five slow deep breaths counting to four as you inhale through your nose and counting to four as you exhale through your mouth.

Step 3

Do lip trills or gentle humming up and down a comfortable scale for 30 seconds to warm your voice.

Step 4

Read the printed lyrics silently and underline any words you don’t know with your pencil.

Step 5

Press play and listen to the backing track all the way through to hear the melody and where the words fit.

Step 6

Break the song into short phrases and sing the first phrase on “la” slowly to match the tune three times.

Step 7

Sing the first phrase with the lyrics slowly and clearly three times.

Step 8

Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for each phrase until you can sing the whole song slowly with the words.

Step 9

Use your pencil to mark small, quick breath spots on the lyrics and practice taking a quiet deep breath at each mark.

Step 10

Stand in front of the mirror and practice the same verse while using facial expressions and simple hand gestures to show feeling.

Step 11

Set your timer for two practice runs and sing along with the backing track at normal speed focusing on tune rhythm and your marked breaths.

Drink some water and finish with a gentle hum down the scale to relax your voice.

What can I use instead of printed lyrics, a pencil, or a mirror if I don't have them?

Use the lyrics on a tablet or phone instead of printed lyrics, a pen or highlighter in place of the pencil for underlining and marking breath spots, and a window, shiny appliance door, or the front of a turned-off TV as a mirror for step 10.

I'm having trouble matching the tune when singing the first phrase on 'la' — what should I do?

Go back to the warm-ups in step 3 (lip trills/humming), replay the backing track in step 5 to hear the melody, and repeat steps 6 and 7 more slowly until the tune fits comfortably.

How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children, have a parent read the lyrics from step 4 and shorten the phrases from step 6 while using claps to mark breaths from step 9, and for older kids, extend the warm-ups in step 3, increase the number or length of practice runs in step 11, or add harmony parts before the family performance in step 13.

How can we extend or personalize the performance?

Add simple choreography and a costume for step 10, record and mix your voice with the backing track after step 11 to make a DIY video, vary dynamics and phrasing before the family performance in step 13, and then share the finished clip on DIY.org in step 14.

Facts about children's singing and vocal technique

🎵 "A Whole New World" won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

🎤 A pop single version by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1993.

🫁 Great singing uses diaphragm (breath-support) technique to hold long notes and control expression.

🧞‍♂️ The song is performed during Aladdin's famous magic-carpet ride scene in Disney's 1992 film Aladdin.

👩‍🎤 Lea Salonga and Brad Kane provided the singing voices for Princess Jasmine and Aladdin in the film.

How do I teach my child to sing 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin?

Start with short warm-ups: hum, lip trills, and gentle scales. Break the song into sections—verse, chorus, bridge—and learn each slowly, matching pitch with a piano or backing track. Practice breathing: inhale low, support with the diaphragm before long phrases. Work on expression by marking places for dynamics and story moments. Rehearse with a backing track, record yourself, then do a final family performance in a comfortable space.

What materials do I need to help my child learn 'A Whole New World'?

You'll need a backing track or karaoke version of 'A Whole New World' (legal purchase/stream), a device and speaker, printed lyrics or lyrics on a screen, and optionally a piano or keyboard to check melody. Add a mirror for expression practice, a simple microphone, recorder (phone), metronome or app, water, and a quiet space. For young children, include adult supervision and a comfortable chair for breath support.

What ages is this activity suitable for?

This activity suits children roughly 4 years and up. Ages 4–6 can learn melody, simple breathing, and sing shortened sections with adult guidance. Ages 7–12 can work on pitch, phrasing, and backing-track practice independently. Teens and older kids refine expression and stage presence. Always adapt to your child's attention span and vocal development—short sessions, gentle warm-ups, and check with a pediatrician or voice teacher if the child has voice or hearing concerns.

What are the benefits and safety tips for practicing 'A Whole New World'?

Singing this song builds breath control, pitch recognition, memory, confidence, and emotional expression while strengthening listening and performance skills. It’s a great family-bonding activity when parents join. Safety: avoid pushing the voice—stop if hoarse, limit practice to 15–20 minute focused sessions, use warm-ups, breathe from the diaphragm, and stay hydrated. Variations include singing as a duet, simplifying melody for younger kids, adding light choreography, or translating verses int
