How We Do Music

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

October 1, 2018 By Jennifer Lambert 8 Comments

Music is very important to me.

I want my kids to understand and enjoy all kinds of music.

Music is such an important part of our lives. We use music to celebrate, worship God, hum to comfort ourselves, and to express sorrow. Nature creates wondrous music with insects, birds, and babbling brooks.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche, from Twilight of the Idols

How We Do Music

How We Do Music

Music History

We learn about concepts and themes and innovations in music as we study our chronological history.

I like to learn about music history. I love teaching my kids various musical genres that go along with our history studies. We listen and discuss and find new likes!

This is an important music topic that must be addressed and discussed thoroughly and delicately. We can’t just sing folk songs without knowing where they came from and how they are offensive. They are not just cute little kids songs. These songs have a history that cannot be ignored.

Music Appreciation

We listen to all kinds of music. I don’t like censorship. Music is a form of performance art that should be heard and I want to expose my kids to it all and we discuss it as a family.

We’ve attended operas, ballet, symphonies, musicals, and concerts as a family. I think it’s important to attend live musical events as often as possible, as early as kids can sit still quietly throughout the performance, perhaps about age 5 or 6. We love matinees.

Many venues offer freebies or discounts to military families, homeschoolers, during dress rehearsals, or other special field trip events. Our city has free weekend concerts at parks in the summer.

I feel it’s important to expose my kids to world music, and all the genres of American music. Music is so emotional, and plays a huge part in culture and history.

We love almost all kinds of music.

Music, of course, helps with math.

Favorite Books about Music

We love getting biographies from the library about musicians and composers.

  • The Gift of Music by Jane Stuart Smith and Betty Carlson
  • The Vintage Guide to Classical Music by Jan Swafford
  • Great Musicians Series
  • Mike Venezia books
  • Iza Trapani books
  • Do Re Mi: If You Can Read Music, Thank Guido D’Arezzo
  • Story of the Orchestra
  • Welcome to the Symphony
  • Poppy books by Magali Le Huche 
  • Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear?

  • The Real Mother Goose
  • Peter and the Wolf
  • The Story Orchestra: Four Seasons in One Day
  • The Carnival of the Animals
  • Moonlight on the Magic Flute
  • Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin
  • 88 Instruments
  • The School of Music 
  • Can You Hear It?
  • The Jazz Fly
  • Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!: A Sonic Adventure
  • Mozart: The Wonder Child: A Puppet Play in Three Acts

  • M is for Melody: A Music Alphabet
  • Tito Puente, Mambo King/Tito Puente, Rey del Mambo: Bilingual
  • When the Beat Was Born: DJ Kool Herc and the Creation of Hip Hop

Notebooking and Unit Studies

Writing about music and composers helps us to understand their importance to history and societal influences. Notebooking a great way to synthesize information we learn.

  • The Stories Behind the Music
  • The Music of Doctor Who
  • Nursery Rhymes
  • Preschool Music Math
  • Singalong Time

Music Appreciation Lessons

  • Zeezok
  • Harmony Fine Arts
  • SQUILT
  • Easy Peasy Music
  • Maestro Classics

Listening

We stream lots of music as we do our studies.

We create Spotify playlists. My middle daughter would win at Name That Tune!

We often listen to classical or instrumental music during cleaning, meal time, or quiet work.

  • Maestro Classics
  • Classical Kids: Collection 1 and 2 overviews
  • Classical Kids – composers
  • Beethoven’s Wig: Sing Along Symphonies – 5 volumes
  • Wee Sing!
  • Putumayo Kids

Playing

My husband can play piano and trumpet.

I never learned an instrument and I regret it.

When my kids were babies and toddlers, we did KinderMusik and Music Together. I think it’s super important to expose young kids to music and allow them to make their own and explore sounds.

Two of my girls have taken piano lessons for years though we’re on hiatus with that right now.

My middle daughter took guitar lessons for a year.

My teen daughter is teaching herself electric guitar.

I can barely play the radio.

The Stories Behind the Music: Christmas Carol Devotions and Activities For Your Family

This Christmas carol devotional is more than just a devotional.

This engaging study will fill your home with some of the most beloved Christmas carols while helping your family focus on the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of our Savior. It’s a study that will truly engage your family’s hearts and minds.

Each of the 15 devotionals include:

  • A story about how the carol was written
  • A scripture reading
  • An explanation of the Bible passage
  • Discussion questions for the family
  • A short prayer
  • Sheet music for each carol
  • A craft that can be completed together as a family

The book will be available in both digital and full-color soft cover version.

Below is an example of the types of pages you’ll see in each of the lessons. These pages are from the “Away in the Manger” lesson.

This is really my favorite activity! I knew I was keeping these little peg dolls around for a reason!

My kids like learning about the carols we sing. They love the history and stories behind the music. This helps us be better at explaining our faith. These crafts and stories are a great addition to our Advent traditions.

HomeschoolPiano Review

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

July 21, 2014 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

HomeschoolPiano is a program exactly like I was looking for. A comprehensive music program with solid lessons and every component to learn how to play piano well. And I don’t have to drive anywhere.

We were given a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION for up to five students to: HomeschoolPiano.

I had planned for the kids to view the lessons at their own paces on their iPads, but we haven’t gotten Internet at our new home yet. So we cluster-watched the videos at the library a few times each week and practiced what we learned at home using the workbooks.

Homeschool Piano Review
 
This also comes on disk.
Homeschool Piano Review

I don’t have to drive anywhere. I don’t have to pay for 30-45 minute weekly lessons with a teacher I don’t know – with lessons that seem to consist of too much time wasted with checking answers in workbooks than teaching.

The kids can watch videos and listen to the audio and complete their lessons and practices on the piano keyboard with accompanying workbooks.

Each lesson is very complete and consists of 7 components:

  • Technique
  • Rhythm
  • Ear training
  • Reading music
  • Song
  • Improvisation
  • Bonus

My three girls did great with their lessons and aced their quizzes on rhythm and listening to measures. I am so proud of them!

The first set of lessons is Core Piano and teaches all the basics from the black and white notes on the keyboard to sitting correctly and proper hand and finger movements.

Book 1 is 6 units and 52 pages. Book 2 is 6 units and 30 pages. Book 3 is 6 units and 39 pages. And Core Piano has 46 pages of practice notation to play.

Kate especially loves this program. She can retain the info she watches in the videos (we have to use the library wifi since we haven’t gotten home Internet service yet in Germany). When we get home, she practices with our full electronic piano keyboard. She likes to show off and teach her sister.

sisters at piano

Kate really is learning lots of basics. Dad and big sister help fill in any blanks if she has questions.

Dad piano lessons

I am very not musical and thankful that Dad and Liz are and can help when I don’t understand her questions.

Big Sister Piano Teacher

She was very obedient to practice her scales and learn her notes before moving on to the fun stuff. She is so excited to play several little songs for us now.

Alex is learning some basics and wants to sit at the piano. He is really good at rhythms. He so wants to be like his sisters!

watching piano videos

Dad thinks there are gaps in the program and it moves too quickly, skipping some basic important lessons. He took music classes for years in piano, voice, and trumpet. He likes old-school and traditional. But this is working for Kate really well. Tori and Alex may enjoy it later when we have home Internet and they can watch and play and rewatch the videos for full comprehension.

HomeSchoolPiano has two payment packages:

1. Success Package (One payment of $299)
Unlimited life-time access to HomeSchoolPiano along with all bonuses (downloads, jam tracks, sheet music) for up to 5 students.
2. Payment Plan (Payments of $99.97 per month for three months):
Unlimited life-time access to HomeSchoolPiano along with all bonuses (downloads, jam tracks, sheet music) for up to 5 students.

For all ages.

View this blog post to see updates on their video program. Lots of improvements! We look forward to learning more piano and completing this program. Kate loves it.

Middle School Art and Music

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

May 7, 2013 By Jennifer Lambert 4 Comments

Middle school is tough.

Art and music in middle school is really tough.

I like to teach art and music along with history from year 1 and we cycle through every 4 years, digging deeper each cycle.

This unit was our 3rd time through for my eldest.

How I teach art and music:

  • Listening
  • Fundamentals, Theory, Vocabulary
  • History
  • Practicing and/or Performing

We listened to Haydn’s Farewell Symphony.

It was part of our classical history studies with Tapestry of Grace Year 2 and the book was on the girls’ list of reading, but we read it together as a family and was delighted and then I found the whole symphony on YouTube. It is magnificent.


Liz finally broke out her acrylics and painted this as she listened:

middle school art

She loves abstract art.

I love her representation of the musicians’ candles. She explained which parts of her painting meant which emotion from the symphony.

Brilliant.

We often create and complete notebooking pages with music and art.

Check out these great Haydn notebooking pages.

We love Productive Homeschooling for all our main notebooking needs.

Adventus Piano Review

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

March 20, 2013 By Jennifer Lambert 3 Comments

We reviewed the piano curriculum MusIQ HomeSchool from Adventus. It’s designed for ages 4-18+. The software requires a MIDI-compatible keyboard and they have great deals if you want a bundle through their site.

 photo AdventusLogo_zps301dbe63.gif
Adventus Piano

“Adventus” means “arrival” in Latin. I just love that bit of trivia. Our whole family has been learning or reviewing piano! So exciting! I love having a musical family.

Kate and Tori are in Children’s Music Journey level 2. Alex can actually do Children’s Music Journey level 1! {Children’s Music Journey is recommended for ages 4-10. Piano Suite is recommended for ages 10+.}

We figure Liz is about one-third of the way through Piano Suite (there are 12 levels!) since she’s taken formal lessons for several years. There are some gaps in her music education that she needs to review and she loves, loves, loves the collection of music that she can search through and practice songs all over the musical map – from classical to current and popular rock n roll!

My husband tried the Ear Training Coach program (years 2&3) and he says it’s really difficult and sensitive. Liz really needs some extra help in this area, so I am pleased it’s included. I am scared to try! I was terrible at sight reading when I was in chorus in middle school! Glad my kids inherited some music talent from their dad.

I tried Piano Suite (and I have trouble playing a digital radio) and it’s really easy! I like it and it doesn’t make me feel musically dumb. I would never pay for formal lessons, so this makes it really simple to just plug and play and get a quick lesson in when I have a few minutes. Food for the brain, ya know? (better than playing on social media!) and I can impress my eldest daughter with something other than Chopsticks or Mary Had a Little Lamb…

Weekly Lesson run-down:

1. Children’s Music Journey – 25 minutes (approx.)

  • Lesson with “composer”
  • Practice Room with Miss Melody
  • Games Room

2. History Time/Rhythm – 10-15 minutes

  • composer study – printable info sheet, discussion, Q&A
  • review note values
  • do music math equations

3. Improvisation – 5-7 minutes

  • listen to assigned music piece
  • dance moves!
  • practice notation
  • optional: record student piece and go listen to it in The Library

4. Closing – 2-5 minutes

  • Tell the student “great Job!” or something like that…
  • Assign practice sheets {due before next lesson~we do them immediately so we don’t forget!}

Tori does her lesson with The Composer. She learns rhythms and notes. We checked out CMJ1, but then realized that CMJ2 does a quick review of CMJ1 and moves on at a better pace for the girls. Tori just turned 7 and Kate is almost 6, so this is a better fit.

video piano learning

Tori does a lesson in CMJ2. She really enjoys the lessons and can complete them on her own. She needs to do finger strengthening exercises!

piano lesson time

Kate is in the Miss Melody section of the program. She reviews the lessons for The Composer. The girls practice with Miss Melody and she’s really cute and fun!

watching and learning

After the lessons and practice…there are games and worksheets and coloring pages. The girls like the interactive MIDI games, but aren’t as thrilled with the worksheets. They just want to play piano!

piano worksheets

Tori loves the theory and history parts of Piano Suite, but she’s not quite ready to begin with those lessons yet. She’s not a fluent reader, so I help her through this right now.

learning about sounds

Liz liked the Senor Semitone Say (like Simon Says), but with the other games she wasn’t interested. She prefers to just play the music at her level.

piano lesson computer

Even little Alex (almost 3) is able to do some of the rhythm exercises (with help and supervision) in CMJ1.

preschool piano time

The Improvisation “room” on the program is fun for the girls to play around with different sounds of instruments – and they can record their creations and listen to them!

What I liked best: I don’t have to really know much about teaching piano to help my kids run these programs. I can look at the lesson plans and there are checklists and supplements on their blog to help my kids succeed. The programs do all the work, from teaching to practicing to games and I just have to plug in my laptop and queue it up for my kids to do their piano each week. They don’t have to leave the house! Wonderful! If you add up what music lessons typically cost (and if you have more than one child, whew!)…these programs are an amazing deal~from preschool through high school!

There are 3 different Adventus programs available (including deals on compatible keyboards):

1. Early learning curriculum (ages 4-10):

Children’s Music Journey Volume 1, 2, and 3 are $89.95 EACH. Included in each volume are the computer software and lesson plans.

2. Multi-Level teaching (10+):

Year 1 is $109.95 (term 1-3)

– Piano Suite Premier
– Level 1 Lesson Plans

Year 2 is $59.95 (term 4-6)

– Ear Training Coach 1&2
– Level 2 Lesson Plans

Year 3 is $59.95 (term 7-9)

– Ear Training Coach 3&4
– Level 3 Lesson Plans

Year 4 is $69.95 (term 10-12)

– MusIQ Challenger Game
– Level 4 Lesson Plans

3. A MusIQ HomeSchool Subscription is just $10.95/month

  • unlimited, full-feature access to all the MusIQ HomeSchool software titles (over $450 retail value)
  • a discount on MIDI piano keyboards

We really enjoy using the programs, but they did require my husband’s help installing the downloads and plugging in the cords correctly and setup within the programs so the keyboard would communicate with the computer. After that learning curve, it was all fun and games for us!

Math Monday: Nursery Rhymes

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

January 7, 2013 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

Nursery Rhyme math to coincide with our nursery rhyme readings in history! Most nursery rhymes originated during the Middle Ages and Renaissance to help teach lessons to children.

I got this journal free from a TpT shop. She must’ve taken it down now. She has lots of other fun printables though!

notebooking

We talked the math problems through and they helped me figure it out. I wrote it on the board and they copied it on their papers.

This one is Humpty Dumpty’s men. Five men…how many fingers did they have to help Humpty Dumpty?

notebooking

The finished page…drawing…words…equation

Music Math!

Dad taught the count of the musical notes and helped them through counting their notes on these fun math pages.

December 10, 2012 By Jennifer Lambert 3 Comments

It’s Math (and Music) Monday

We completed Life of Fred Apples. Our Singapore Math unit is about telling time.

I found some supplemental materials for them. The pack we worked on the last couple days is from School Express. You can sign up for emails and get a unit each week. I rarely use them, but this one seemed fun. They’re mostly puzzles and busy work.

wow, I think Katie was excited to do this time pack!
Exploring Time
A fun fact sheet about time. We all giggled about the statement: “You can’t hear or smell time.” We tried!
Notebooking Time
Katie filling in our school day schedule. I wrote the items on our board after we discussed the order of our day and the girls copied it at the appropriate times on their pages.
Setting a Schedule
Tori’s copy of our general school day schedule. Look how much free time if they complete their work!
Daily Schedule
Cross curricular activity: decoding letters for Tapestry of Grace Year 2, Unit 2 history.

We read a Max Lucado story and completed the puzzle for the symbolic Bible verse represented in the story.

Decoding
The girls really enjoyed the puzzle and begged me to find more code games for them!
Decoding Puzzle
Then we read Musicians of the Sun for history and had to dance and make music. Music is math.

Just look at the gorgeous colors and fun shapes in this book! Art is math too.
Musicians of the Sun
The girls pretended they were characters from the book, making a rainbow.
Making Music
Alex heard the cacophony and ran to join us!
Musical Kids
It was loud, obnoxious, gave me a momentary headache, but the kids loved it and will certainly remember this book!

Fun with Felt and Music

The blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Also see my suggested resources.

May 18, 2012 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

I bought some felt sets for Katie for her birthday and everyone loves them! Big Sister has started our school day with felt stories. I bought some nursery rhymes sets and kids’ stories in felt. We’ve had a Bible felt set for a while now, but it hasn’t been used much.

The girls are singing, “Here We Go ’Round the Mulberry Bush.” Aren’t the wings a nice touch?

“This is the way we wash our hands…”

songs with felts

Big Sister told the story of Jesus’ birth with our felts. It went with our Bible studies this week about the angel’s announcements to Zechariah and Mary and how we should trust God.

big sister flannelgraph

Even Bubba joined in on listening to Big Sister!

family song time with felts

So, the felts were obviously a wise purchase and I’m glad everyone likes them.

Anyone have any great storage solutions for felts and felt boards? They’re all over the place and getting mixed up and it’s driving me crazy!
