[HANASHIR:7322] Re: Music Educators Institute (MEI)

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

This sounds very exciting.  I would urge you, if you haven't already done
so, to consult education experts and texts as to what is and isn't
age-appropriate singing material.  These educational principles will apply
to Jewish music as well as other music.  Too often a well-meaning eacher or
song leader pitches a song in the wrong key for young singers or chooses
repertoire which is too long and does not offer enough repetition.   Then
they wonder why the kids are not singing along.
