    Hi.
    My dd's & nieces (5,7&9) will sing a song at our outdoor (weather permitting) humanist ceremony. I can't think what song will suit. Any suggestions appreciated. Friends & family who are musicians will accompany on instruments.
    Also any suggestions on music for the ceremony greatly appreciated.
    Thanks :-)

    I was involved with a wedding where 2 of the B&G's kids sang something from Disney. Sorry cant remember which song though.

    That wouldn't fit the scansion :) We must maintain artistic standards .

    What kind of music do you like ? There are loads of classical pieces that are fairly easy to learn and as the other poster said the Disney archive has something to suit all occasions and the kids probably know them already .

    Thanks.. That's a good place to start. She has a Disney cd, loves Taylor swift & Katy Perry so i'll give those a listen.

    Where is Love from Oliver?? Also has a lyric "Is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of?" I teach it to kids all the time and they love it.

    Another good one for kids is When Love Is Found (cheesy so so cheesy but ...) could be cute and easy melody for small people.

    Once played a wedding where twin girls (think they were 7) sang Love Me Do by The Beatles and I accompanied them. It was so short and sweet but they brought the house down!!!
