A friend of mine recently emailed a bunch of her friends with this desperate plea: HELP! She has just been newly called as the Primary Chorister and is in great need of ideas and suggestions.
I have spent years and years conducting choirs, and even studied conducting in college (I was a music major). Ask me to conduct a symphony and I’ll gladly do it. But primary was hard for me, though I only did it for a short while. Luckily, there are some people who knew that Choristers like myself, and my friend, would need some pointers on how to be a good Primary Chorister.
These are some great links that I think will be helpful for anyone who is interested in teaching their primary, or their own children, about the gospel through music.
Sugardoodle: this is probably the best source (other than LDS.org) that I found.
LDS.org Primary: the source that knows best.
Alpine Stake Primary: all sorts of tips for conducting in any church music calling.
Primary To Go: focuses on the current primary program for the year with tips and suggestions.
About.com LDS Primary Sites: a list of other sources to check out!
Happy Conducting!

There is another website that is just great. http://www.thecrazychorister.blogspot.com. She’s got some great ideas to present songs to the kids.
There’s lots of places out there that are getting more great ideas for Primary and Singing Time.
