2 Surprises That Made This Holiday Carol The Kids’ Favorite

2 Surprises That Made This Holiday Carol The Kids’ Favorite

What a surprise when I visited a mixed age music class and heard an 8 year old say “Can we do Deck the Halls? That’s my favorite!” Other children chimed in “Yes! Let’s do Deck the Halls!”

Here’s a video to show you how a simple tempo change and some silly gestures have this old carol a favorite for parents at the concert too! Some other holiday favorites in this playlist too!

Most of us are busy with our holiday concerts. Here are 3 reminders:

#1 reminder MAKE SURE THE PARENTS CAN SEE THEIR CHILD!

#2 reminder – make the children smile (I tell them we are taking pictures and videos and there will be SMILE AWARDS!)

#3 – Get the singing all the way to back where Grandpa is sitting – he’s hard of hearing! Open your mouth and exaggerate the words to make sure your singing covers the entire room.
