It is not easy to teach young children how to do certain things, especially toddlers. Their brains are still developing and their attention spans are, well… Not the strongest just yet. However, this one dad was determined to teach his toddler how to sing and the result is quite hilarious.

This dad is from New Zealand and he makes a ton of hilarious videos with his daughter on YouTube under the name How To Dad.

As the name suggests, many of the videos consist of him giving instructions on how to do things like how to toilet train your toddler, how to get a toddler to brush their teeth, and how to get a toddler to eat vegetables, among other things.

In this video, he decides to teach his 2-year-old how to sing.

“Welcome to this instructional video on how to teach a toddler to sing,” he says at the beginning of the clip. “Basically we’re just going to cover the music fundamentals.

Then they dive into an exercise where they go back and forth — the father sings a single note and then it is his daughter’s job to try and replicate that.

He starts with a simple falsetto, “ahhh!” he sings. Then, his daughter just kind of… Screams. A for effort, though!

As she continues to try and copy her dad’s singing, she just ends up screaming or laughing, but it is honestly so adorable. She is so enthusiastic about what they are doing the whole time, you can tell she is really having a fun time with her dad.

She also doesn’t just copy his voice, but she also copies his movements. For instance, if he looks slightly down to hit a lower note, she will do the same. If he waves his hand while he sings, she will do the same. It adds such a level of cuteness, we can’t get over it.

And then of course, her dad continues to test her.

He starts throwing out a few genres at her. “Ee-bop!” he sings for pop, then he does a ton of vocal runs for R&B, and then even sings some opera. Of course, he’s not a professional singer by any means, but that is exactly what makes it so endearing. They’re pretty much just both screaming at each other back and forth, but they’re both so invested.

At one point, he tries to mimic death metal, which basically was just him screaming. She clearly had a gift with that one, as she screamed right back with no problem. It actually sounded pretty legit!

The video was uploaded earlier this month and is already up to over 220k views. Tons of people are finding it and are beside themselves because it is just too charming to not watch over and over again.

“Watch your back Beyonce,” the dad wrote in the description of the video, and we couldn’t agree more. This 2-year-old is the next big thing in music.
