I've had several questions about using my music in primary so I thought now would be a good time to talk about this. Here is the official church policy on using original children's music in primary -- straight from the good folks in Salt Lake City:
May we use original songs in Primary?
"The Children's Songbook is the basic resource for Primary music. Hymns from the hymnbook and songs from the Friend are also appropriate. Occasionally, patriotic or holiday songs that are suitable for Sunday and for the children's ages are also appropriate. The use of any other music in Primary should be approved by local priesthood leaders" ("Primary," section 5 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2, 236).

I love the songs in the Children's Songbook! When appropriate, I also think it's fun to sing new songs in primary as well. My album is an independent project and is not affiliated with the LDS church so you would need to follow the above guidelines before using it in primary.
For those that are interested, I will be publishing the sheet music for all the songs on the album. I'll post details on where and when you will be able to find it, but it will most likely be after the official release of the album.
