I’ve used music in so many ways in my life. When I taught school I played instrumental hymns like the one on the video as my students arrived each morning. The lights were low, and a nice room scent floated in the air. The kids came in quietly, put their things away and got to work. I didn’t have to say anything. Amazing!
When my babies learned to sleep in their own room, music like this made the transition easier. And when it’s time to get up on Sunday morning and get ready for church, listening to this music helps us stay in the right frame of mind.
High quality music trains the brain for mathematics and reading. I used it as part of Heidi’s therapy to eliminate her learning disabilities and we still enjoy listening to it, even though she’s 99% better. And training musicians who listen to high quality music, become better musicians.
I’m privileged to know each member of the Bountiful String quartet personally. The two violin players are brother and sister. Their other brother is my children’s violin teacher. The viola player and cellist are husband and wife and go to church with me. The quartet arranges all their own music and it is amazing!
Their first CD debuts on the 20th of this month, and one lucky reader will win a digital copy!
Exciting! Can’t wait!
I used to play but now I just enjoy music to set the mood in our home, especially on Sabbath!
They sound great!!!
Would love to win. I play flute, though not violin. I have a two year old,and a second daughter on the way and I think this would be an awesome collection to expose the too.
Beautiful!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us 🙂
I can’t wait for this album to be released!
My children all take piano lessons so I’ve been exposed to lots of nice music over the years as I didn’t grow up playing an instrument except a year of guitar in elementary school. This cd would be a lovely addition to our music collection!
Great idea!
Love your posts. I am a mother of seven and looking towards the future God has given us. I have enjoyed many of your helpful hints. Thank you
I too played music for my kids when we schooled in when they were younger. Music is still a huge part of our household. Kids each have their different likes as teens and young adults, but it is still a major part of their days.
What a great addition this would be!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Have to get a copy if cd
Thanks for offering this, Angela! I used to play the viola, and now have an itch to learn piano. 🙂
I love playing hymns for my children and myself! I have some beautiful piano music but this is really lovely too!
I just enjoy music!
I have to agree. My husband has a terrible musak system in his office so to unwind. He prefers silence. But 330-500 pm before he gets home…oh my. With 3 3and under I find music tames the savage beast Lol. It does keep us in a servant spirit towards each other. I would love to win something lovely. (in my fantasy self I play the violin).
Beautiful!
BEAUTIMUS!!!
I was a cellist in a youth symphony and I taught private lessons for awhile, but have not had much time to devote to it with kids always underfoot. Maybe this will be some inspiration to break it out again 😉
Triple blessing: Beautiful music, excellent musicianship, and a gracious presentation.
I love music and I want to start transitioning my 2 1/2 yo to his own bed!
Can’t wait to hear this album!!!
Would love to hear the whole album!
Yes, Kristen! I have it and it just gets better and better all the way through.
