Some thoughts.......

"The music leader is the gospel doctrine teacher for Primary."

Gordon B. Hinkley

Some things I have learned being the primary chorister for almost four years.....

• Never underestimate the power of a child's musical ability.
• It's always good to have a wiggle song.
• Even the eleven year old boys like to sing.
• The sunbeams may just stare at you during singing time, but they know the songs by heart.
• Expect more out of them and they will rise to the occasion.
• Crying when you feel the spirit is good for them to see.
• Always let them know when you are feeling the spirit so they learn to recognize how it feels.
• Always bear your testimony to them.
• Singing a song "opera style" is the best way to sing fortissimo.
• The nursery children learn songs faster than we give them credit.
• You can achieve "rock star" status if you do your job right.
• Never take credit for a great performance...it's all about their voices.
• Never ask them if they want to sing the song "one more time."
• Loving your calling is what it is all about!!!
