This valuable collection includes eight Rote to Note anthems based on foundational Bible truths. These general-use anthems were written specifically for elementary students by leading music educators, teaching timeless Bible truths that provide comfort, awaken imagination, and inspire praise. 

This digital resource includes the following reproducible resources for each anthem:
•    Full Score
•    Singer's Score (melody only)
•    Instrumental Parts (where applicable)
•    Discovery Page
•    Demonstration MP3
•    Accompaniment MP3
•    Two bonus scripture introductions

As children progress from rote singing to note reading, it is important to nurture their growth with excellent teaching strategies and quality music. These songs introduce foundational music-reading concepts, which are accompanied by an interactive Discovery Page. As you lead your singers through the Discovery Pages during in-person or virtual rehearsals, the children will develop key literacy skills, such as:
• Identifying the key signature
• Identifying a measure and barlines
• Identifying notes, note values, and rhythmic patterns
• Identifying the staff, pitches, and melodic movement
• Identifying the form and roadmap of music
• Identifying expression elements, like tempo and dynamics
• Writing notes, rhythms, and melodies
• Exploring anthem lyrics
