I was not a great student – until things began to really click
for me in college. It took me awhile to learn what worked best
for me in the way of studying. Over the years, I began to notice
that anything put to music was easy for me to remember. I could
have been a contestant on “Name that Tune”, a popular game show
in the 1970′s – just a note or two would get my brain rolling.
It is the same for my students, who are inspired and driven by
the power of music. If you have younger children at home, you
might try these silly tunes to help them remember the books of
the Old Testament and the names of the twelve apostles. You can
do this yourself with any of the areas of our Faith that you
want your child to remember – the corporal works of mercy, the
seven sacraments, the gifts of the Holy Spirit…Pick a simple,
familiar tune, and allow the Spirit to inspire you! The
