Let's Chat About Homeschool Music

Homeschool music is an important subject to help develop a variety of skills. Often overlooked or feared, homeschool music can be successful when you find the resource that best fits your family. Whether you outsource your homeschool music instruction or take the task on yourself, these recommendations by other homeschoolers can help you learn more about helpful music curricula.

Let’s Chat About Homeschool Music is part of a Periscope & blog series for homeschoolers helping homeschoolers. Once a week, a homeschool subject area will be discussed with curricula resources and recommendations given. You can learn more details and subjects by scrolling down.

Our homeschool music has consisted mostly of music appreciation. I have always played classical music for the boys, often during quiet times like crafts or snack. This year, we were blessed to review Zeezok Music and have thoroughly enjoyed its composer biographies and music appreciation CDs. We will wrap up our composer studies this summer.

Next year, the boys and I will be learning the ukulele together! We have started to use Amanda at Raising da Vinci's Ukulele Course For Kids with tremendous success. I love the solid introduction to music at a level that even Bear, my 5 year old, can grasp.

Homeschool Music Recommendations From Homeschoolers!

I have been jumping on Periscope on Tuesdays around 3pm ET. I invite viewers to share their recommended curricula on a specific homeschool subject. Also, I ask members of Rock Your Homeschool! Facebook group to contribute their top curricula choices.
