Easter song ‘Hosanna’ in Sacrament Meeting
I know I’m not supposed to post until Darling Hubby has completed my new website, but I’m not that patient! ;D Primary has been asked to sing in Sacrament Meeting this coming Sunday. We have had one week to practise, as we had General Conference last Sunday. Eek! I decided to play it safe. If you…

Splitting up my website, stay tuned…
I can’t put any more posts up for the moment, because my wonderful husband (who is an excellent web developer…plug for him!) is going to do amazing things with my website. I have given him a mammoth challenge, and he is spending every spare second he has to make the changes I have specified. Shouldn’t…

Appropriate funeral songs
I was asked to play at my Grandma’s funeral today. I had two days to come up with something appropriate and something I could throw together as a violin solo. It couldn’t be religious (Grandma was an RSL Club type person, was not really church going), and due to the general age of the people attending…

Scripture Heroes
We had so much fun last Sunday being Scripture Heroes. I think it was the most attentive our Jnr Primary has ever been! Of course they would have been! We had swords, and shields and capes, and scriptures. Here’s a sneak peak of how the process evolved (via pictures):- The beginnings of a CTR Shield…

Ideas for restless children during Singing Time
We all have feral Primaries some days. Generally just prior to or during rain (for some unknown reason). I have put together a few of my resources that I have scribbled down over the years, and they are now part of my Singing Time folder. Firstly, I found this site that gives a few pointers: Music…

Head, Shoulders, Knees and…SURPRISE!
I have sung this with my 4-5 year old students, and they love it. It’s great for when they’re getting just a little bit restless, their arms are getting sore and we just need to do an action song. I whip this one out (he is usually all set up ready to go anyway), then…

Another student with a sore RH – piano song for the LH
Yup, another poor student of mine has injured their right hand. A very clever student, but a beginner, so I couldn’t use the LH songs I had composed previously. This called for a new one. So here it is! My Right Hand It is a beginner piano piece with some legato and staccato, and cluster…

Recognising High and Low
This is a great game for little peoples. I am going to play it today with my young violin students. I am going to show them a picture and they have to tell me whether it is “high” or “low” Then we will play a high or a low sound on our violins. It’s a…

I Am Like A Star
Our little sunbeams seem to sing better and sit still when they have visuals in front of them. We hold Opening Exercises in the Chapel, so they need to be fairly reverent – and we are singing this for Opening Exercises tomorrow 😀 Since I was having a ‘star’ week, doing star flash cards as general…

Primary Song Scrambles
This is not really an appropriate activity for the Juniors to do, but we have very clever seniors in our Primary, and I thought this might be a great thing to do for revision, or just to go through some songs we know. Song scrambles! They’re not quite opposites, but the title of the song…
