Homeschool Music Curriculum

Our Preschool & Early Elementary virtual classes are perfect for those busy parents looking for a homeschool music curriculum for children from Kindergarten through Second Grade.

These classes use Dr. John Feierabend’s “First Steps in Music for Preschool & Beyond” curriculum, which is the exact same program I would be using if I were teaching in a public school elementary music program.

The only difference is that classes are adapted to work in a virtual learning format.

Check out the Preschool & Early Elementary page for more information!

More years of homeschool music courses will be added as they are completed, so be sure to sign up for the Beichner Music Services newsletter to stay up-to-date and be among the first to know when new courses are added!

If you would like to enroll in our virtual music classes, click the button below to go to the MemberVault Course Platform where you can enroll. Once enrolled, you will be able to go straight to the MemberVault platform to find your weekly lessons.

Jeepers Creepers…check out these Peepers! 👀 Jeepers Creepers…check out these Peepers! 👀

Meet Pinky and Sunny, eye puppets (often called Peepers) that I frequently use as props in my preschool and early elementary Little Music Makers classes! 

Many of the materials I use in my classes can be used in other creative ways in your home! Here are some ideas for using these cute little peepers for music and more: 

🎶 Use them to demonstrate echo and call-and-response songs.

📣 Encourage cooperation and listening by giving directions in a silly voice.

📚 Help your child develop language skills by telling stories and having conversations with your peepers. 

👩‍🎨 They are a great way to foster creativity and imagination in your child!

👥 Encourage and model social interaction with them. 

You can even make your own peepers by gluing large googly eyes to a pipe cleaner and bending to fit your fingers! 

Give your eye puppets a name to add to the fun!

When was the last time you saw or used peepers? Are they bringing back some childhood memories for you like they do for me? 😊
Let’s play a circle game! 🌀 Circle games lik Let’s play a circle game!

🌀 Circle games like “Ring Around the Rosey” can be great fun to do with your young children! Here are a few tips for success: 

1️⃣ Have your child follow you and walk in a circle, rather than holding hands. Remember holding hands with a group of children and trying to walk in a circle? That is incredibly difficult for young children, because we are asking them to walk around the circle while facing their upper bodies in, or twisting in a strange way in order to walk more comfortably. Hold off on the hand-holding until they can easily manage the walking and understand how to play the game. 

2️⃣ Add fun elements when you can - falling down in “Rosey,” a train whistle for “Little Red Caboose,” tossing a scarf in “Sally Go ‘Round the Sun” as we demonstrate above, etc. 

3️⃣ As with any children’s activity, repetition is key! Your child may seem uninterested at first, but the more you demonstrate with enthusiasm and encourage them to join the fun, the more interested and excited they will be! 

🤔 What circle games do you remember from your childhood?

Who doesn’t love a singing 👻 puppet?!? Hey Who doesn’t love a singing 👻 puppet?!? 

Hey there! I’m Melissa, the music teacher behind Beichner Music Services, and I’m here to help you learn songs, rhymes, and games you can use to confidently make music and memories with the little music makers in your life! 

Aside from my obvious love of singing ghost puppets, here are a few more fun things you might not know about me yet: 

🥣 My favorite food is cereal. 

☃️ I love the snow, but hate being cold…so I love looking at the snow from inside my toasty warm house 😂

🧶 I love to sew quilts and knit with fancy yarn. 

🎄 I leave my Christmas tree up as long as I possibly can every year.

🚗 I love driving a stick shift vehicle…my favorite was our 1976 MG, until it overheated and caught fire at an outdoor wedding 😳🔥😱 (swipe for some non-fire pics) 

So how about you? Do we have anything in common??

Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods

I have no words to adequately express the sorrow and fear I am feeling tonight, but these lines from Into the Woods are ones we should all remember, whether we have little ones in our direct care or not. 

Little eyes see, little ears hear, and little minds process and internalize much more than we adults realize. 

Take care, friends.
Let’s get to know each other! 👋 For those wh Let’s get to know each other! 👋

For those who may be new to Beichner Music Services, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Melissa, and I’m the adoring mama of this sweet little music maker. My husband is a math teacher, so between the two of us, we have the logical and the artistic covered in our house! 🧮🎨🎭

🎹 I have been a lifelong musician, starting piano lessons when I started school, and my love for sharing music with others has grown ever since. 

👩🏼‍🏫 Before becoming a work-from-home mama, I taught vocal and general music for nine years in the public school system. I stashed baby music books and materials away for YEARS in the hopes that someday I’d be able to use them. 

🐣 Finally, the day came when I was able to dig into those materials with my infant son…and I quickly knew that I wanted to share my passion for early childhood music with other parents, too! 

😊 I’m so glad you’re here, and would love to learn more about you. Let me know in the comments - how old is your little music maker?

2020 brought a lot of hard things, but also many g 2020 brought a lot of hard things, but also many good ones. 🎶

Here’s to hoping that 2021 is a year of good things, but also realizing that if/when they do come, we can do hard things, too. 🤨

I’m wishing you a year of music making and memories with your family. 🥳

And...our family will be eating TWO good luck meals today (and hoping they don’t cancel each other out 😂)!

Do you have any good luck traditions in your family? I’d love to hear them!
Keep watering your bamboo. 🌱 Have you heard th Keep watering your bamboo. 🌱

Have you heard the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree? Once planted, the seeds take five years of nurturing before they break through the soil and start to show their growth. But during that time, the tree is not completely dormant…it is developing a complex root system beneath the surface, that will eventually support the rapid growth once it breaks through the surface. And by rapid growth, we’re talking nearly three feet per day to become 80 feet tall in a matter of weeks! 🤯

Our children’s development can be exactly like that bamboo tree, especially when it comes to engaging in music making activities. 

Take heart, dear parent. You may not see any engagement or interest as you try new songs, rhymes, and games with your little one. It can be discouraging when you feel like something isn’t working. Continuing to provide these experiences is key, because one day (in less than five years, I promise! 😂) you will suddenly see rapid growth. 💗

Your child may suddenly start singing a simple song you’ve been singing for weeks. They may engage in a palm tickle for the first time. They may fill in the ends of phrases when you leave off the last word. They might finally tap with a steady beat. 

You see, their brain was working beneath the surface all that time, processing the information you were providing and making sense of it all. Developing a complex neurological system to support their eventual show of glee and excitement when they were ready to engage in making music with you. 🤓

So, if your child isn’t responding the way you thought they would to music at home, try not to be discouraged. Just keep watering your bamboo. 🌱💦

A wiggle for your littlest music makers! 🐣

🐷If you know “This Little Piggy Went to Market,” then you are already familiar with toe and finger wiggles...and now you can add “This Little Wind” to your list! 💨

A few tips for using wiggles with your little ones: 

👶 for infants, start by wiggling toes until they are no longer grabbing your hand when you try to wiggle their fingers. 

👦 for toddlers, invite them to wiggle your fingers by holding out your hand and starting to speak the rhyme slowly. 

🤪 always use bright, engaging facial expressions when doing these activities with your child!

I remember this moment like it was yesterday…eve I remember this moment like it was yesterday…even though it was almost 17 years ago 😳😅

🥰 I love the way that participating in music experiences makes me feel, whether that is performing a piano solo, playing hymns at church, singing in a group with others, or simply humming a tune while I make dinner. 

➡️ You don’t have to be a formally trained musician to enjoy musical experiences, but it is important to have quality interactions with music as a child in order to grow into an adult who enjoys more than just listening to music in the background of daily life. 

🎁 What a gift to be able to share music making with your child, and to have an idea bank of simple songs, rhymes, and games you can use at any time without any special props, equipment, or recordings. 

Let’s all make some music and memories with our kids this week 😊

Fri-yay SongTale Time! 🤩 I ❤️ sharing song Fri-yay SongTale Time! 🤩

I ❤️ sharing songtales - stories told through song, because I just love the idea of songs and stories being passed on from generation to generation, something that happens in cultures all around the world! 🌍

🎵Here is a bit of “Jennie Jenkins,” an old courting song with lots of color-rhyming verses. I’m currently using Jennie in the Red Collection of my Little Music Makers classes. 

🤔 Do you have a favorite story song? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to give it a 🎧!
Myth: BUSTED.💥 🤔Have you ever thought this Myth: BUSTED.💥

🤔Have you ever thought this to yourself before? Or wanted to take your child to a music class, but worried about whether you’d have to sing in front of other people? 😬

✋Let’s stop this limiting belief right now:

1. Making music is JOYFUL, do not let self doubt stop you from enjoying making these memories with your child!

2. YOU ARE YOUR CHILD’S FAVORITE…EVERYTHING! I was going to say “singer,” but really, you are simply their favorite. Your voice is the one they want to hear, and they love to listen to you sing and talk to them. 

3. Our infants and toddlers are the absolute least judgmental people on the planet. If you’re feeling self-conscious, your child is the safest person to sing in front of!

4. You CAN learn to sing better. (I personally do not believe anyone is truly “tone-deaf,” but that’s a soapbox for another day 😂) 

5. If you listen to people on the radio and feel like you’re not a good singer because you don’t sound like them, let’s turn that truck around right now. Most of the sounds we hear in recordings of professional singers are highly processed…some of those people don’t even sound like that in real life. 

🤨You can take baby steps to building your confidence in this area as you make music with your child. If you’re not ready to try a song yet, start small by using one of the rhymes I’ve shared. As you gain confidence, try introducing short, simple songs to your routine.

🥁Here is a fun beat tapping song to use with your child - the key is to match your speed (tempo) to the speed your child is using to tap. 

🥁Our children have their own internal preferred tempo, which is often faster than what we adults might naturally use. This is because their heart rates are faster, and their natural preferred speed tends to be related to their heart rate! This is why it’s important for us to adjust and match their speed when using these songs and rhymes.

Let’s play a circle game! 🌀 Circle games lik Let’s play a circle game!

🌀 Circle games like “Ring Around the Rosey” can be great fun to do with your young children! Here are a few tips for success:

That is incredibly difficult for young children, because we are asking them to walk around the circle while facing their upper bodies in, or twisting in a strange way in order to walk more comfortably.

Keep watering your bamboo. 🌱 Have you heard th Keep watering your bamboo. 🌱

Have you heard the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree? Once planted, the seeds take five years of nurturing before they break through the soil and start to show their growth. But during that time, the tree is not completely dormant…it is developing a complex root system beneath the surface, that will eventually support the rapid growth once it breaks through the surface. And by rapid growth, we’re talking nearly three feet per day to become 80 feet tall in a matter of weeks! 🤯

Our children’s development can be exactly like that bamboo tree, especially when it comes to engaging in music making activities. 

Take heart, dear parent. You may not see any engagement or interest as you try new songs, rhymes, and games with your little one. It can be discouraging when you feel like something isn’t working. Continuing to provide these experiences is key, because one day (in less than five years, I promise! 😂) you will suddenly see rapid growth. 💗

Your child may suddenly start singing a simple song you’ve been singing for weeks. They may engage in a palm tickle for the first time. They may fill in the ends of phrases when you leave off the last word. They might finally tap with a steady beat. 

You see, their brain was working beneath the surface all that time, processing the information you were providing and making sense of it all. Developing a complex neurological system to support their eventual show of glee and excitement when they were ready to engage in making music with you. 🤓

So, if your child isn’t responding the way you thought they would to music at home, try not to be discouraged. Just keep watering your bamboo. 🌱💦
