Each Primary & Elementary course is built around great books, a fully-planned out Curriculum Guide, and an Activity Pack that provides engaging activity sheets for each lesson.
Our elementary curriculum is divided into two levels: Primary (Recommended for grades K-2) and Elementary (Recommended for grades 3-5). Each of our Primary and Elementary courses starts with excellent picture books about musicians. Our open-and-go Curriculum Guide features detailed lesson plans, listening guides, and internet-linked resources for further study. An Activity Pack for each student provides hands-on engagement. If you like, add in our recommended optional books for even more opportunities to learn alongside and connect with your children! All Primary and Elementary curricula can be completed in any order, without any prior musical knowledge. We currently offer one curriculum in each level: Primary A: Medieval Melodies to Musical Theater and Elementary A: Medieval to Modern. Additional Primary and Elementary tracks are planned for future release.
Each Intermediate course is built around great books, a detailed Curriculum Guide with scheduled assignments and answer keys, and a comprehensive Student Workbook with lessons, short-answer questions, and music theory worksheets.
Our intermediate curricula are intended for students in middle school through early high school. Each Intermediate course begins with excellent books about musicians. Our detailed Curriculum Guide provides a scope & sequence, weekly schedules, parent notes, and answer keys, as well as QR codes and links to Digital Resources. The Student Workbook contains all the History, Listening, and Music Theory lessons, follow-up questions, music theory worksheets, and QR codes and links to Digital Resources, as well as a glossary of words.
