    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Individual singing tuition to pupils at the secondary level (high school age) imposes deamnds on teachers which differ from those with regard to the training and development of the adult voice. The singing tuition of adolescents is consequently discussed. Subsequent to hints offerd to teachers on improving the teaching process, practical suggestions on recording and preserving relevant information on the individual pupil and the audition are also made. A discussion of the beginner in respect of formal instruction in singing follows, with emphasis on the importance of a correct posture and a reference to the necessity of adequate breath control. Suggestions are made with regards to the learning of a song and teaching aids that can assist the process. Brief reference is also made to the positive and negative effects of ensemble singing on the solo voice. Repertoir study follows and factors influencing the choice of a song ar stressed. The essence of the thesis is the development of a step system as an aid for effective, systematic teaching and evaluation. It includes steps 4 to 7. A possible method of allocating marks is proposed for each system. Provision is made for the evaluation of technical exercises, aural tests, viva voice, sight reading, repertoire and theory. Suitable technical exercises, sight reading material and repertoire are provided for each step. Each song contains information on the language, key, range, type of voice for which it is suited, mood and technical components which can be applied in its situation.
