Homeschool Music Curriculum

What’s a well-rounded homeschool program without a music elective?

How Do You Choose A Homeschool Music Course?

There are two major types of music courses: music history and appreciation or music theory and instruments.

Base your choice on what your student wants to do with music after high school graduation.

Music History & Appreciation Courses

  • Anyone can take music appreciation or music history courses to satisfy the requirement to take a music course.
  • Most non-music majors take a music appreciation course for required fine arts credit.
  • Some courses have samples of different composer’s music, stories of the life of the composer, and pages to color while you listen.
  • Some of our favorites for teaching music history and appreciation at home are:

Guitar Lessons

There are also technical music courses where one learns to sing or to play an instrument. Take private music lessons; sing in church choirs; or participate in a school band or orchestra if your local school district allows.

Musical Genius

By Barbara Allman

“Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is perhaps the most important and most recognized composer of all time. Playing the keyboard when he was just three years old and composing at age four, Mozart spent much of his youth touring European courts with his family. although he died at the age of thirty-five, he created a huge volume of musical works. among them are the famed operas The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, and Don Giovanni.”
