I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved the Primary songs. They are still often a source of comfort or inspiration. While I love music, I don’t feel blessed with musical talents.

I was terrified when I was called as a Primary music leader in February of 2017. I cried when I got the call, and worried, and stressed. How would I be able to do this?

The Primary chorister before me was a professional that lead a children’s theater and had a strong, confident singing voice. If you’ve seen any of my YouTube videos, you’ll know that’s not me. It felt like impossible shoes to fill!

But the sweet Primary President reassured me that she felt very strongly I was the right person to call and that they were ready for a totally new style. With the expectation to match up to the previous leader dropped, I was ready to dive right in. What I lack in overall talent, I make up for with an abundance of creativity and enthusiasm.

Fast forward just a month into the calling and it was already easily my favorite calling!

While I’m definitely not perfect with singing, leading, etc, I just love working with the kids, being creative every week, and teaching the gospel with Primary Songs in such a unique and impactful way.

This website began after sharing a couple of first primary singing time posts over on my main blog that I have worked on creating recipes, parenting ideas, and other content for over 10 years!

I just had so many, many ideas I wanted to share, and thought it would be better placed to have a website more specifically focused on Singing time ideas!

Primary Singing was started to more easily organize, display, and categorize all of my ideas to give you resources to help you with your own Singing Time lesson plans. I hope you love it around here! The best way to help this little site grow is by sharing what you love on Facebook, Pinterest, or even email!

When I’m not practicing piano or working on schoolwork, you can usually find me doing something creative! I love finding ways to be creative in lots of different avenues! Whether it’s trying a new cookie recipe, writing music, or thinking of fun activities for my primary kids, I am happiest when I am being creative!

I love spending time with family, playing sports, and trying new restaurants with my husband! My hope for my work in Primary Singing is that it helps other primary music leaders to feel a little bit less stressed and have a little bit more fun with their calling!

I was a music leader in my ward for 5 years, and it was a calling that I enjoyed very much, but I was always looking for new ideas, and ways to motivate the children to sing.

Now I am a counselor in the Primary stake presidency and had been looking for ideas to support the music leaders in my stake. So when I discovered this site I wanted to be the means to help get these resources to many Spanish-speaking sisters who are looking for teaching ideas like me.

Hopefully you can implement some of these ideas and help the children in your ward learn from the gospel and treasure the beautiful Primary songs throughout their lives.

WRITE FOR ME

I was released from this fantastic calling in October 2019. I absolutely loved my calling and cried even more the day they released me than the day they called me.

I do still have a lot of ideas I want to add and share on this blog, but as a busy mom those ideas are often shuffled to the back burner. So… I’m looking for YOU!
