This earlier year I gave a 2 and a half hour music workshop about teaching Primary Music. I did several examples of Sharing Time, using different teaching styles, learning styles, and activities to teach each song. We also talked about the principles and the ideas behind what we do as teachers.

Hi all! This is Joshua Dance. I am Sharla Dances oldest son and website maker. :) Sorry about the problem pre-ordering. There was a problem where the site we use (Gumroad) thought there were multiple versions of the book so you had to pick one. But there were not. This is what prevented you from ordering. I have fixed that problem and you can order now. So sorry about that. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Email me at dancecrew@gmail.com The book is available for pre-order!

 I recently taught a workshop in St. George Utah. It was fantastic. Also, I had a professional film crew there filming the whole thing. This means that we will have a DVD available soon. I am really excited to be nearing completion on the book and the DVD.
My websites went down for a little bit because of some problems with the domain name registrations. I don't really know a ton about the inner workings of the internet, I just know that my webmaster (aka my great son :) fixed everything and we are back in business.
Hello everyone! I am writing away on the book and things are going well. It is sometimes overwhelming to try and capture all I want to share in words.
As I get further along, I realize that it is impossible for me to put everything in one book. It would just be too big! :) So I am going to split it up into two or more books. I don't have everything organized yet but when I do I will post what will be in each book. Thank you for your comments and emails. And happy spring! (We are getting pounded with snow in Washington but it was warming up before the storm hit. :) -Sharla- Work continues on the book. I struggle to put down my thoughts and feelings, and all the wonderful things I have learned. If you haven't read the sample chapters I have posted click the link or click on Free Book Chapters in the navigation bar.
As always, enter your email on the right to be notified of any news and when the book comes out. I hope to have more news for you soon. Again, thank you for your support. -Sharla- Things are still moving with the book. I will be posting more videos of different techniques and methods in the videos section soon.
