Selection by Age Groups
All songs on the website have been performed by children in elementary and middle school. Non-readers would join readers during repeating choruses, but the ability to read is essential for learning the lyrics and confident performances.
Youngest, non-readers were able to join along with the chorus from:
Give it to the Lord in Prayer!
Burst!
Little Kids Who Sing..
Sing La Shout Yo!
Older kids loved: all of them!
