Children Choir Cirriculum Song Book

The Children's Choir Curriculum: Spirituals and Traditional Songs is the premier teaching tool for children of the African American Church. Each lesson includes a music lesson that introduces music notation (note reading), a workbook sheet that reinforces music reading and notation skills, a biblical component that features both an exciting Bible story that goes with the music and a workbook sheet, and a historical component that elaborates on the heritage and legacy of the music.

This curriculum encompasses biblically sound material that is suitable for all learning styles. The musical notation and workbook pages are excellent for visual learning and development.

Overall, The Children's Choir Curriculum: Spirituals and Traditional Songs is the first of its kind. Teachers of all denominations can use the biblical lessons in their music rehearsals to reinforce the meaning of the songs. Some children who sing in the choir do not attend Sunday School, so this may be the only biblical teaching that they receive on their level.

The historical component of each lesson will enhance the students' understanding while reinforcing the esteem of the children as they learn of the musical accomplishments of Black people in spite ofliving under the yoke of slavery. The music notation exercises will teach note reading and writing skills, and the children will be excited and involved in each song through movements, vocal development, and musical exercises. Every church will be delighted to witness the exceptional presentation of spiritual songs with movements and singing from the children of the church. The combination of music education, biblical teachings, and Black musical heritage makes this curriculum the premier instructional tool for children ofthe 21st century
