The Importance of Teaching Hymns to Children

music.cph.org

As church musicians, we understand this and strive to use our music to help teach doctrine in all of its complexities and subtleties to congregants both young and old. In fact, what better way to prepare and teach our young people than by teaching them robust, doctrine-filled hymns?

Latest News from the website:

We have just created an interactive index for the Bulletin which covers almost every issue since 1937 (it will eventually cover all issues).

The index is comprised of seven categories which are searchable, downloadable and printable and will be made available to everyone visiting the Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland website. For members there is an added advantage, each entry will be linked to its relevant article within an issue, opening the article and scrolling to it when logged into the website. Non logged in members will have the option of logging in, non members will have the option of becoming a member to view the content.

This is currently so for most categories of volumes XX and XXI (the categories are currently being updated with the links) Once this is complete we will begin digitising Volume XIX.

The new page can be found here: hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/resources/interactive-bulletin-indexes/

If you are a member of the society but do not have a user name or password for the new site (previous user names and passwords will not work on this new site), please message us and we will message you back.

We hope you find this new resource useful.
