How It Works...

Third Grade Music comes in a secular
edition for public schools, and a
non-denominational Christian edition for
Christian schools and Home Schoolers.
The Christian editions include biblical
references in some text, which are
omitted or replaced in the
Public School Edition.

Third Grade Music 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 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.

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 (or
MP3 from the download option) at the
right times in the lessons.   

There are fourteen lessons.  We
recommend teaching one to two new
lessons per month, with review in the
weeks in between.  Your students will
enjoy the songs, and you'll have fun too.

It depends on your needs.  When you add your item to the cart, you must select the option of having the booklet and CD mailed to you, or downloading it. If you choose by
mail, there is a shipping charge. Shipping usually takes one week.  We will mail you your booklet and CD.  

If you choose the download option, we will email you a link within four business hours. Click on the link, and download a compressed (zipped) file containing an Adobe PDF
version of the booklet and the CD audio tracks in MP3 files, to your computer.  Once you "unzip" your downloaded folder, the files are accessible on your computer.  

The download option costs less because there are no paper or plastic materials involved in your order.  The price is 15% lower for the download option, and there is no
shipping charge.   

If you choose the download option you'll need high speed Internet to download it to your computer.  You will need an Adobe PDF reader to view the PDF file.  You will need a
printer so that you can print off the worksheets and flash cards for your student(s).  Also, you'll need audio on your computer so that you can play the sound files.   If you
have questions, please
email us.
