Joy Full Noise

Description

Church Music for Children & Youth by Kerri Lynn Nichols

Kerri Lynn’s third collection of church music for children and youth includes 27 original songs and arrangements with Orff settings and piano accompaniments. Pieces have been written to celebrate the events of the church calendar and illuminate well-known scriptures. The creative process is highlighted through voice, body percussion, movement and instruments in an improvisational approach to making “joyful noise” become “jubilant song!” Lyric sheets are included for teaching.
