2017 in Planning


Welcome to a new year and a new theme in Primary!  Do you already have a plan in place for your music throughout 2017?  Or does that thought stress you out? ;)  There are lots of ways to plan Primary music, obviously, and the way I like best is just to follow a few overarching guidelines. Take a look at last year's post for my "4 Steps for Planning a Year of Songs."  The major difference is that the Sharing Time outline for 2017 can be found here.



Please comment and let us know what kind of yearly planning works for you and your Primary!



Happy singing,

Share the Love


Hello, out there! Sorry for being AWOL, but I've been called to be an early morning seminary teacher. It's both awesome and all-consuming. :) I love it, but I miss Primary music! So, I found a way to bring it into my seminary class.

Earlier this week, I brought in rhythm sticks to help teach the memorization song for the books of the New Testament. We all knelt on the floor in a circle and did a Maori style beat. My teens loved it! So here's my tip for this month: see if there's someone around you who could benefit from using Primary music in their calling, too. A skill that you've already developed could help bless the lives of many others. Share the love!

Happy singing,
