Of Primary Importance, Vol. 1

Here is a wealth of valuable information of special interest to directors of younger elementary choirs. Practical essays present valuable ideas for helping untuned singers and for enabling all children to sing more beautifully. Other articles include rehearsal planning, teaching music reading skills, and preparing for worship. A series of eight anthem studies included in the book prepares directors to present materials in exciting and creative ways. This series challenges directors to help children become musically literate by careful transition from rote to note.
