How It Works...

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 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.    

T
hird Grade Music contains biblical references in the lessons based on the
Christian faith.  A public school version with biblical references removed is in
the works. If you would like to be notified when the secular version is
available, just
let us know.
