Hello, Iowa City Stake primary music people! Many thanks to all of you who were able to come to our yearly Auxiliary Training Meeting on Saturday.
If you're new to this blog, take a look around, roam through some old posts, and feel free to leave comments and questions. In the past, I've sent out an email when something new is on the blog, but now, instead, I'm asking you to please sign up at the bottom of this page if you'd like to be auto-notified when there's something new. Scroll to the very, very bottom, put your email address in the box that says "follow by email," and click "submit."
Since I've already written about the handful of things that I think are universally important, the best way for this blog to be useful now is for you to share your ideas and questions with the group. There are as many wonderful ways to teach music as there are different choristers! If you're doing something that your primary children are enjoying, send the idea to me at mco@olsonia.org, or post it in the comment section below. If you need some advice from the group, send me a question, or post it below. Primary Presidencies who are reading this, if you notice a good music teaching technique or fun review game happening in your primary, please email me or comment about it here! Your chorister might be too modest to do so. I'm not looking for elaborate, fancy ideas. Just tell about the simple, ordinary things that the children respond to, and I'll report them here.
As always, if you have material that you'd like to organize as a full blog post, send it to me (with pictures, if possible), and I'll publish it ASAP, and mail/deliver to you a big plate of COOKIES. (I make really good cookies :)
I plan to post questions in future weeks, and ask you to share your experiences. In the meantime, I'm hoping that you'll flood my inbox with questions and suggestions.
