Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Music is a Full Unit. Our Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
Join us on a journey through the history of music, from the first vibrations of "Let there be" to the rhythm, lyrics, and musical genres we have today. Explore composers and performers, unique instruments and styles, and see how music impacted our story over time.
In the student books, you'll learn about rhymes, rhythm, and the structure of songs, poetry, and hymns. The grand finale is writing and composing your own song or hymn. Daily Music Appreciation pages will help you understand the musical elements of selected pieces, which are linked in the app. And we haven't forgotten about science lovers, either. You'll explore sound vibrations, acoustics, and even build your own pan flute and stringed instrument with simple supplies.
What should I buy? You can purchase a leveled bundle with one student notebook of your choice and the Teacher's Guide, or the full family bundle that includes all levels with the Teacher's Guide. If you have more than one child you are buying for, it is more economical to get the full bundle to re-use in the future with your kids at older levels. All digital bundles come as an instant download in PDF format for you to print at home.

How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-6 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! This unit incorporates all subjects other than math and there is something for the entire family.
