The songs sung by the children in The Sound of Music were done by the children in the film. For some instances they added other children ( including Charmain Carr's sister Darleen) but they were all singing their own songs. The only part not sung by the children was when Curt was showing off during the party with his goodbye. When it got high the voice was that of Darleen Carr. Julie Andrews did her own singing as well. Christopher Plumber wanted to do his own singing, but was overdubbed in post production.

below is a copy of part of an interview with Christopher Plummer indicating in Plummer's own words that most of the Captain's singing in Sound of Music was dubbed by Bill Lee.
SIMON: Did they dub your voice...
PLUMMER: They did for the long passages. It was very well done. The entrances and exits from the songs were my voice, and then they filled in - in those days, they were very fussy about matching voices in musicals. And Julie, of course, had been - you know, trained since day one as a - I mean, she was ...
SIMON: Yeah.
PLUMMER: ...tone perfect since she was in her cradle, which is an exasperating thing to admit. And it was awfully hard to match her and her sustained, long notes. So yeah, I was - they did it very well 'cause it sounded very much like me.
(SOUNDBITE OF MOVIE, "THE SOUND OF MUSIC")
LEE: (as Plummer's Captain Von Trapp) (Singing) Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever. Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my homeland forever.
SIMON: The man who sounded so much like Christopher Plummer - if Christopher Plummer could sing - was the late Bill Lee, who was the singing voice of a lot of characters, including a pirate, in "Peter Pan"; and a dog, in "Lady and the Tramp." He also sang for John Kerr, playing Lt. Cable in the movie version of "South Pacific."
