Music Callings and Resources
Music in Primary


Music in Primary includes singing during the elements of sharing time. Music is also important in Primary classes and activities.

Music in Primary should  invite reverence, teach the gospel, and help children feel the  influence of the Holy Ghost and the joy that comes through singing.  While the children sing some songs, music leaders give them opportunities to move physically and stretch appropriately.

The Children's Songbook and the current sharing time outline are the basic resources for music in Primary. Hymns from the hymnbook and songs from the Friend and Liahona are also appropriate. Occasionally, children may sing patriotic or holiday songs that are suitable for Sunday and for the children's ages. The use of any other music in Primary must be approved by the bishopric.

For information about teaching music to children, see "Teaching a Song to Children" on the Church Music Web site.
