Abstract
Vocal demonstration (hereinafter referred to as vocal demo) is a crucial teaching method for cultivating students' musical expressiveness in singing classes. For elementary school students, male musical teachers tend to exert various influences on the cultivation of students' musical expressiveness due to the factors such as physiological structure. This paper aims to elaborate on both male teachers' vocal demonstrations and students' musical expressiveness. It adopts classroom observation and literature research methods to explore the influencing factors of male teachers' vocal demo on students' musical expressiveness, as well as the corresponding coping strategies.
