Jesus Said Love Everyone easy violin and piano duet
Here’s a cute little number. ‘Jesus Said Love Everyone’ in D Major for violin and piano. It begins with the violin playing the melody, then there’s an easy violin descant, then it returns to the violin playing the melody again. The piano accompaniment is the same as the Primary Song Book, transposed into D…

Search, Ponder and Pray arrangement for Solo Voice with Violin and Piano
A few months ago when I was thinking of the songs I wanted my Primary to sing for the Presentation this year, I had 12 songs that I definitely wanted them to do that tied in with the monthly themes. However, I also wanted to do Search, Ponder and Pray – because to me, that sums…

Valentine’s Day Songs with coloured hearts
Needing a fun but simple activity tomorrow for Valentines Day, I decided to print up some coloured hearts and attach songs. Coloured hearts…because they don’t all have to be red! How to: Choose a child (or a teacher) to choose a heart, and then sing that song. I have included blank hearts…

Need simplified primary songs?
I have come across two great sites with kind people who have simplified Primary songs, free to download. I know it must have taken them hours and hours to do. There is D’Net Layton’s site here. She has made the songs very simple, included colour pictures from the Primary Songbook and has some pre-reading songs…

Freeze Like This – Action Song
Once we had completed our hard work today, learning If I Listen With My Heart, I did ‘Freeze Like This’ with Jnr Primary. I printed out the pictures from Kami’s Primary Music Ideas site (link here) and pasted them on to thick cardboard. My Jnr Primary were already sitting in a big circle…

Easter Singing Time
I’m keeping it really simple tomorrow. I’m using a picture of a tomb facing the front. On the back is a picture of the tomb with the stone rolled away (they’re stuck together back to back, and laminated). I will write a song on the side with the stone rolled away. Reverent children will be able…

Baptism/When I am Baptised Medley
Another Fireside favourite! I arranged this for my daughter and one of the gorgeous YW in my ward to sing at the Fireside last year mentioned in a post below. It is a simple but effective combination of the two songs, keeping the lilting 6/8 time signature so they flow together. It would be perfectly suitable…

Lord, Make me an Instrument of Thy Peace
Last year, I was asked to find an arrangement of St Francis of Assisi’s “Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace” for a fireside. There are some lovely versions out there, but the requirements were that it needed to be a male vocal solo, and it had to be suitable for a Fireside. That meant that I couldn’t…

A Simple Mother’s Day Song: “Dearest Mother, I Love You” for violin, piano and child’s voice
I volunteered my little family to do an item for Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. (What was I thinking?) I whipped up a simple arrangement of ‘Dearest Mother, I Love You’ found in the Children’s Songbook. It’s simple, but you don’t want a complicated accompaniment or descant or you’ll have a very confused child singing.…

Articles of Faith Posters for Primary, FIG, Home or Anything Churchy
I was looking up some Articles of Faith posters (because there are lots of clever people out there) for a Primary activity I have coming up. I’m doing an Article of Faith/Easter Egg Hunt and thought that having the children recite the Articles of Faith as part of their clues would be great. I stumbled…
