How It Works...

First Grade M
usic comes with a booklet and an audio CD. The booklet contains fourteen
lessons, removable worksheets, and flash cards.  All you need to do is follow the steps in
the lesson plans.  The lessons indicate what to say, what to do, when to play the CD audio
tracks and when to use the flash cards and worksheets .  Only one booklet is needed per
class.  You are welcome to make additional copies of the worksheets as needed for your
classes.

You do not need to be a musician to teach this curriculum. The curriculum provides the
instruction, and the CD provides the Solfege (do-re-mi), rhythm exercises and songs.
Simply follow the steps and play the tracks on the CD at the right times in the lessons.   

There are fourteen lessons.  We recommend teaching one to two lessons per month with
review in the weeks in between.  If you actually do all of the suggested activities in the
lesson plans, your students will be kept busy with minimal prep time for you. Your students
will enjoy the songs, and you'll have fun too.    

We offer a secular public school version, as well as Christian school and Christian
homeschool versions. The Christian versions contain some biblical references based on
the Christian faith.  The lessons are the same in all editions, except biblical references have
been removed from the secular version. There are some song differences.

The only differences between the Christian School and homeschool versions is in how
students are referred, for example the classroom edition may say  "your students" while the
homeschool edition may say "your child".  Also, some activities differ to make them
conducive for the learning environment.

We have a no-hassle, 30 day return policy. If you are not satisfied, simply ship it back to us
within 30 days. As long as the merchandise is not damaged, and we will issue a refund,
less any amounts we may have paid for the delivery of your order.
