Teaching Music

My children are very talented when it comes to music or art. I believe that this important for children. It shows talent for the kids and gives them something else to look forward too. In our community we are blessed to have a lady who teaches the piano. Our son chose to learn the guitar. And of course we are blessed that grandpa had a band and dad knows how to play also. Our daughter is learning how to play the recorder. I hope to eventually move her into a clarinet or saxaphone. There are some wonderful sights to help you with piano or recorder.

These are some sites that you could look at. Music can be so fun. And you just never know how your child will react. This is one of the subjects that you can teach. Also, you may just want to teach the children about composers. When you do homeschool play one of the composers, like Bach or Beethoven. You will be surprised how the kids do. Here are some sites with biographies of the composers.
