It was like going back in time with our oldest children when we first reviewed this brand-new music education program. However, so long ago, our boys were dragged out of the house each week to a local, expensive Kinder-music program and this secular program certainly lacked the Catholic elements that this lovely program now offers. Introducing your little ones, and big ones, to music will undoubtedly lay the foundation for a love of music as well as readying their intellect for higher order thinking. Making Music Praying Twice provides that path by bringing children and parents together on the wings of music. This program of music and movement is designed to foster the Catholic faith and to enrich education and family life, pursues a profound goal:  While the gift of music education is invaluable, the gift of music combined with prayer is immeasurable. Designed to be adaptive for busy and varied families, take as much or little direction as you need.  The teacher’s manual is complete with glossary, extensive cross-referencing, complete music for the 95-song curriculum with accompaniment chords and notes on teaching methods, casual use in the home, and following your child's musical growth, with fully developed lesson plans. The CDs feature natural, acoustic, but highly professional music designed to encourage participation of parents and children.  Voices of men, women, teens and children help your child grow in receptive and discernment skills.  The music of various cultures are represented traditionally alongside simple a cappella pieces and more complicated vocal and instrumental folk ensembles.  All choices reflect a deep educational purpose, but also provide an enjoyable, charming listening experience for the whole family.  The song choices include, Prayers, Hymns, Gregorian Chant, Folk Music, Latin, Spoken Rhymes for Rhythm Development, and so much more.
