Teach Your Children
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Performance tip
Assign the harmony parts in advance. Keep the lead plain and let the voices join gradually; doubling the melody throughout loses the CSNY effect.
Should you sing it?
“Teach Your Children” works best when you have harmony partners and want a warm, thoughtful group song. Loose harmony or heavy delivery can flatten the message. Look elsewhere if you are performing alone and cannot carry the layered chorus comfortably.
