Karaoke

Karaoke is always fun! Here's how we plan our Karaoke programs with our teens. First, you do not need a karaoke machine! I've figured how to put on a fabulous karaoke program with things that my library already owns. 

Here's a list of what you need:


I use one of the laptops we have for patron check-out. The laptop has an HD outlet. 


















I connect it to our projector which is in the meeting room where we do 90% of our programs. 



















I also purchased a portable, Bluetooth speaker which came with a microphone.

You don't need to buy Karaoke CDs either! Just search "karaoke [song title] and 75% of the time I've found a karaoke-friendly version of just about every song. Also, there's a youtube channel called Sing King Karaoke which can be found here


Hope this helped. If you have any tips or ideas please comment. 

***BONUS*** Here's a clip of one of my teens singing! She's very talented and it took a bit of coaxing to get her comfortable!
