Thanks for listening, and I hope your family enjoys singing with us!

Thanks so much - I hope you enjoy singing this hymn!

You’re very welcome!

Thank you so much for listening! I hope it is helpful to your family - happy singing!

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening! If you notice the bass player, it probably means he has done something wrong... ;)

Ha! ​@@TheSingingFamilyChannel Still want to hear a solo.

Thanks so much for listening, and I hope your family has a great time singing this together!

Thanks for listening!

Aww shucks. ;) Thanks!

So thankful you found it helpful - blessings upon your musical discipleship and may you sing joyfully and skillfully unto the Lord!

Thanks for listening!!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for listening!

Thanks!!

Haha! Interesting - can’t say I’d have any expertise on that style but I’m sure it would be worth a try. We really like Bruce Molsky’s version, if you haven’t heard it (though it is very much in the same old-time vein).

Thanks so much for listening!

Thank you!

Yes, especially on the fiddle, an instrument whose sonorities and range so closely resemble those of the human voice (and whose sound rings right into your left ear)... Such a beautiful sound, though. Keala is a hardworking and talented musician! Thanks for listening, as always.

Thank you so much!

Thanks - we have a lot of fun with them, at any rate!

I’d be more than happy to email you a pdf copy of any of the canons you’d like to learn, if helpful!

Thanks so much, I hope you sing it with your family as well!

Thanks so much for listening!

Praise Him, indeed!

Ours too!

Thanks so much - it is an amazing gift to share music with children and to sing together as a family!

Thanks for listening - I hope you had fun singing along!

Thanks!!

Oh, I just saw, "Supporters get access to PDF Sheet music of the canons". Okay, I'll write it out myself ;-)

Thanks for listening. I’m happy to share a pdf for this if you’d like - no need for you to transcribe it! We like to teach by ear as much as possible because, while written sheet music is obviously a very helpful tool and reference, we believe that learning by ear is a more efficient way to transfer music (or poetry or scripture) directly onto the tablets of our hearts. Our hope is that students will be able to memorize the music (and the passage of scripture) in the amount of time that it takes to watch the video. My experience has been that using sheet music as a reference can be very helpful, but it can also sometimes slow down the process of memorization. Either way, happy to share the pdf if you email me at Nate at thesingingfamily dot com. Thanks again and happy singing!

@@TheSingingFamilyChannel Right on! Literate musicians usually have a TERRIBLE time memorizing! Thank you for the offer, but I'm done transcribing now. Keep up the great work!

@@dartme18 got it - thanks again! Offer stands if you find another one or two that you think are worth singing. Just shoot me an email, happy to share the PDF!

Very glad you liked it and I hope you will all enjoy singing it together!

You are so welcome! Thanks for listening and I hope you've been able to sing this hymn with your family. Keep your eyes out for a lovely eastern hymn, O Sons and Daughters, which we'll be publishing this week!

Thank you!

Thanks! Hope you enjoy singing it!

Thank you! I hope that you enjoy singing it as well! If you haven't seen it, there is a teaching video on our channel as well that teaches the canon phrase-by-phrase. All of the canons on this channel are original compositions EXCEPT for the ones in the "Traditional Canons" playlist. Thanks again for listening.

Thank you so much! I'm so thankful to hear that your family has found what we are doing helpful.

Thanks for listening - that's a beautiful testimony to hear. 51 years is a long time to build a musical foundation as a community. I'd love to hear more about this group, and your work!

Thanks for listening! The other mother goose canons might be a good fit as well if you haven’t checked out all of them. We upload them weekly and they are organized by difficult to make it easier to structure your learning. Happy singing!

Thanks for listening, I hope you found the video helpful!

Thank you for listening! It is funny how many variations there are of nursery rhymes. I guess it shows how long and broadly they were shared orally before they were ever written down!

Thanks for listening!

Excellent question! A canon could also be a called a 'round' - a type of composition where multiple voices sing the same melody at different times to create a layered harmonic / polyphonic texture. We have a brief video explaining it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7yjda6QsJibiX0.html&ab_channel=TheSingingFamily

Keep it up! As with anything, it gets easier with practice!
