I'm considering using the bells in our Primary Program for this song. I made this chart so the bells are played only on the downbeat (first note) of each measure. I'm starting to lean more toward this kind of bell-playing in Primary. When I've done it this way it seems to be easier for the kids and it goes faster as you don't have to slow the song way down for them to get all the notes in.
This won't be the chart I will use in the actual Program. Still haven't exactly figured that out yet.
Just wondering if you have tried and were able to download the images from lds.org for teaching "Seek the Lord Early". I can't find a link to download them. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've tried and they don't seem to exist... Sorry :/
DeleteI totally agree about playing only on the downbeats! Yesterday I had them play 2 or 3-note chords (I only have the 8-note bell set, so had to transpose to the key of C first) on the down beats and it was beautiful! Just curious if you're still thinking of doing this in the program? I wonder if my bishop will approve...
ReplyDeleteI would love your bell chart for the chords. Do you have a printable version or did you make it on a poster board?
DeleteDarn, Natalie, I just barely saw this! Would you still like the chord chart, or is it too late? It's on a poster, but it wouldn't be hard to put it in printable format. Sorry!!
