President Dallin H. Oaks once taught that “the singing of hymns is one of the best ways to learn the doctrine of the restored gospel.” Those words are true for all of us but are especially so for children. Primary music is one of God’s most tender tools for planting the seeds of testimony in the hearts of the Savior’s youngest disciples. Parents, leaders, and teachers give nourishment to that seed as they testify to and invite the testimonies of children of all they are coming to know of Heavenly Father; His Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost.

Tune Your Heart to Jesus Christ: The Sacred Gift of Primary Music

Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/10/13browning?lang=eng
