And yet, many of us believe our music directors, choir members, and musicians perform simply to entertain us and bring balance to the service. In truth, their responsibility and privilege lies on a much higher level. They are each ministers who have been called to prepare the hearts of the congregants for the planting of the Word of God. When They Began to Sing focuses first on the commitment of spirit, mind, and body. Before the first note is ever formed, the intent of the heart must be examined. The tools found within the pages of this book are critical for building any music minister and his ministry. |

Just for the Play of It: Creative Drama for Children By Debbie Goodwin In the middle of playing, oblivious to the rest of the world, intensely centered on the reality of their imagination, children have entertained better than some of the most gifted actors. Then why, when you cast them in a play or musical, do they clam up, move stiff as a board, and speak like a computer short-circuiting? Where is that same energy, that same expressiveness, that wonderful childhood abandon you wish to harness through drama? It's lost somewhere between the excitement of being in a play and the monotony of rehearsing it. It's lost when you have to tell children to stop playing around and start practicing. It's lost when the black and white words on a page stay there and children simply memorize and follow directions. It's lost when children step into a role like they put on a coat, mindlessly, without imagination. Can it be found again? Yes. That's what this book is all about: involving children in drama...Just for the Play of It. |
