2016 Workshop Talk | 0:59:20 | All Grade Levels, Art & Music
Summary
“Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise.” With these words, sixteenth century reformer Martin Luther sets before classical Christian educators an important maxim. Music is a gift received from God and conveys to us the truths of God and the world around us. Is your classroom alive with the sound of music? Do your students love to sing? In this session participants will join each other in music making and song as we consider the important and lively elements of a grammar school music program.
