tune tidings

One of the things that elate children so much is singing and acting. I have had the thrill of taking a theme, Example: “the wonder of humanity” and combining songs like “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid, “Love Makes the World Go Round” from the musical Carnival and “I’m so glad I’ve got Skin” sung by The Persuasions. With the blending of facts and emotions these songs conjure up, the children and I become immersed in all aspects of the subject… 

Music Genres I Love:

Being a huge musical theatre fan and singer, I was determined to fascinate my children with the wealth of life that is learned about so whimsically from Broadway and Disney tunes.

As I reviewed, sung and reenacted the old children's songs I had heard since my own childhood I became aware of the ingenuity of subjects learned through song...and to my great excitement, my husband and his kids recently introduced me to the marvelous execution of this idea through Schoolhouse Rock...

Being a follower of Jesus, I can't help but adore learning about him through song. I feel like the old hymns have been all but forgotten, but they are the songs that are brimming full with teachings and emotions that melt into your heart as the melody and lyrics combine...

I also can hardly contain my jolly joy during Christmas time when I turn on the seasonal music station and hear Bing Crosby, Robert Goulet, Doris Day, Julie Andrews, Perry Como and many others ringing in the season of goodwill to all people!
