Music in Our Homeschool

The curriculum provides strong support for parents with little musical background through detailed instructions and easy-to-use video format.

The review notes it's 'great for parents who have little musical background' and includes 'instructions for parents' and 'brief information about teaching each song'

The curriculum facilitates direct instruction through video demonstrations and structured lessons, particularly effective in the singing courses.

Courses are delivered through 'videos and downloadable PDFs' with 'helpful instructions for each lesson' and professional instruction from trained teachers like voice teacher Marcia McCarry

The curriculum includes substantial music history content through various music appreciation courses covering different historical periods and composers.

Courses include 'Music Appreciation: Middle Ages through Classical Era,' 'Music Appreciation of the Romantic Era,' and '20th Century Music Appreciation' with composer sheets and historical context

The curriculum leans heavily toward structured content delivery with limited opportunities for creative exploration or composition.

Most courses follow a format of 'text, videos or other content from the internet, and downloadable PDFs' with students completing listening sheets and composer sheets rather than creating original work

Music vocabulary instruction appears limited, though some theory concepts are introduced through specific courses.

The curriculum includes 'Dynamics Flashcards and Picture Cards' for music theory and 'Beginning Music Theory for Teens,' but vocabulary development is not emphasized across courses

The curriculum provides some structured technique instruction, particularly in the Singing Made Easy series which includes vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises, and posture instruction.

Singing Made Easy courses include 'vocal warm-up exercises plus exercises for posture, breathing, and relaxation' and the KinderBach series uses 'multi-sensory, activity-based approach' for beginning piano
