Segment 1

Segment 2

Permeate faith into anything you do
Best ear training and to teach simple two part harmony is through church music (5:37)
Invitations to participate
Among your peers (strength in numbers)
Church music offers more breadth to teach harmony due to the close harmonies such as a third or fifth
Have students listen to the music, sing them the melody then sing them the harmony (Jesus Jams)
Worship music is like praying twice – deeper connection
Music doesn’t just identify culture, but also identifies feelings, interests, emotions, and beliefs (religion or faith)
Take the time to reflect on what the curriculum wants you to teach
Be eclectic in your approach and you delivery and know your audience
Well planned leads to reading the situation for that day (more self aware)
Learning becomes real when talking about faith
Make the faith their own through music. Example: Teach them what a psalm is all about, King David history – earliest songwriter)
These lyrics you’re singing is older than Jesus Christ and there is a reason why we still sing it today. It’s about uniting your voice with King David to praise God.
Choose music that is based on the readings or theme of the mass!
Explain what this is be it the Eucharist etc.
Make them more exposed to the Church's teachings through music – explain to them the mass
It needs to be special in presentation – I hope your not doing this for attention you are representing your peers,
Pick your moments to bring to heart
Conversation about our voices join the angels in heaven
Death has no power over our family – uniting our praise for the Lord
Planting seeds
Engagement is by getting students to love what they are singing and connect melodically
Identify with the melody so that they can harmonize with it and also identify with the words
Once hooked introduce things that are more rich
Meet the kids were there at especially when it comes to church music
Internalize what they are singing
Come up with different strategies to have with it
Once they realize how good they sound it takes it to a whole new depth of meaning for them (it becomes their own)

Meet them where they’re at
So perhaps bring in the clergy to connect with your music group
Develop a link to the parish
Communication with pastor
Invite them (priest) into your classroom
Introduce them to the other parts of the mass to draw them closer to the Church
Record cd’s with students
Invite them to sing the psalm to get them introduce to the life of the Church
Leads to self motivation to be a part of the parish
The role of a Catholic educator is to live your faith - be active in your parish and be a role model
Be present as a catholic educator
If you don’t’ live it you are falling short as a Catholic educator
Make yourself visible
