Today Is Mine
My body is a gift
It can move- It can feel
It can breathe and then connect
to what is happening and real
With all my senses on
It is my window to the world
It is not all of me, but it helps all of me
Grow up to make the most of me
My mind is a gift
It can process and define
It can put old parts together
and create a new design
It takes my senses in
And gives experiences meaning
It is not all of me, but it helps all of me
Know how to make the most of me
I am something greater
than my body and my mind
Something will go on beyond
the gifts I will one day leave behind
I’m a living treasure box
My gifts are each a key
This moment is the present
That will make the most of me
It’s the present that will make the most of me
the Present - violin.pdfThis page was set up so you two can practice "the Present". These are your practice NOTES:
This piece of music was created to accompany a children's book that I will be releasing early in 2024. You two will be the voices and Emryelle will be the violinist.
The book is targeted at 4 to 6 year olds, but lots of parents will probably read it to their babies all the way up to your age, so don't talk down. Just talk normally with lots of feeling. I know you both will do a great job.
There's are six words I need you both to sing. We'll record that separately.
The words are below, but they are also on the video. Practice until you are comfortable with the timing of the words, but on the day we record, I will have you do it with and without the music. I can edit after we record and place the words where they're supposed to be.
