2015 Music Workshop video is ready!

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.

I demonstrated activities for teaching many songs, including 'The Holy Ghost' and 'Come Follow Me' which are songs from the 2015 Primary Sacrament Meeting Program.

My son Joshua edited it all together and it is finally ready! You can buy it here. I have a digital copy for sale, which is great because you can download it to your computer, or watch from the website anytime you want. You can also burn your own hard copy to DVD for personal use.

If you want to buy the DVD and the digital version, you can buy it here. The digital version will be available all the time, while the DVD will only be available to order for 2 weeks as it is a lot of work for my son to burn and ship all those disks. :)

Buy the digital download on Gumroad - $11
Buy the digital download + DVD on Gumroad - $27 (Only available for 2 weeks. DVD ships on June 17th)

Also, I will be sending out a discount code to my newsletter subscribers, so if you haven't subscribed yet, make sure to do that now. :)

Problems pre-ordering fixed!

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 [email protected]

The book is available for pre-order! Click here to pre-order the book. Available April 20th! - Buy Now

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.

Work is moving forward and some big news...

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. :)

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.
