Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat

February 18, 2024 | 16 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have some fun homeschool music curriculum today. Also, look at Fun Facts About the Phantom of the Opera & Styles of Music Unit Study.

Teaching the basics of how to play a big wooden box like the piano may seem.

Perhaps if you compared it to building an appreciation for the love of classical music in your children. 

Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat

Too, Tiny has spent more years with a piano teacher receiving instruction than I have nurturing his appreciation for classical music.

So, I was ecstatic about receiving Zeezok Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades Book 1.

Music Appreciation in a Box

First, this is a comprehensive music curriculum.

But take a peek at what we got in our Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades Book 1 Collection.

  • One Student Activity Book, 353 pages.
  • Music Discs. Psst. . . It’s 2+ hours of beautiful professionally recorded music.
  • Lapbook Disc – 7 lapbooks.  One on each composer.
  • 7 composer biographies.  One biography on each composer studied which are Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini and Schubert.
Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat which includes lapbooks, hands-on ideas and background information.

Right away I want to tell you that though I have had several months reviewing this curriculum.

And we have just barely touched the scope of it.  We didn’t want to miss any tidbit shared throughout the student activity book.  So we have taken our time going through it.

Poring over every fact about each composer, and the historical background of them, we have spent many days cuddled in the living room.

We have read and did hands-on activities for Bach, Handel and some on Haydn.

Homeschool Music Appreciation. Music curriculum which is hands-on and for multiple ages.

It is an in-depth study on music styles. In addition, it includes learning how music is created.

Also, it so much more. For example, it has geography, history, hands-on activities, quizzes, an instrument study and character trait studies.

Zeezok Publishing Review Activity Book

I know what that is – a unit study! 

Because we wanted to add this to our French Revolution unit study that we started after using the curriculum, we moved ahead to focus on the study of Beethoven because his life overlapped the French Revolution.

For instance look at the part of the student activity book that focuses on Beethoven.

You see how each section in the student activity book is designed.

Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat

All excellent unit studies start with a plan.

And the plan is built right into the student activity book.  Above you can see the weekly lesson outline showing the 4 week plan. 

To study each composer there is allotted 4 weeks. I love the Weekly Lesson Outline. 

The lesson planning direction is superior.

Music Appreciation in a Box

So, I would rather see the outline and determine the pace for my children, than not have a beginning point.  You have a beginning point and activities lined out for each of the 7 composers.

Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat

The weekly lesson plan of activities is built into the student activity book.

This allowed me to give Tiny more control over what he did each day. 

Now that he is getting older, I want him to take more responsibility for some of his day. 

So I was able to use this feature as a way to measure his maturity for more accountability and for him to start his day on his own without my prompting.

Also though the student activity book is an all in one resource.  It has everything you need in it to complete the series after you read each chapter in the biography reader each week. 

If you are short on shelf space, you will like the fact that it is the teacher’s guide, student activity book, has tidbits of interest, assigns the music to listen to, gives timelines, has instructions for lessons on hands-on projects, has a quiz and the answers at the end of each unit. 

All of these things made it easy for Tiny to pick up and start on his own.

Homeschool Music Curriculum 13

Moving on to the actual contents of each week’s lesson, they are varied.   We especially took notice of the activities and background information for history and geography. 

For example, we enjoyed learning that during the 1800’s songs were written in response to social events. 

Homeschool Music Curriculum

This is exactly the tie in I was looking for in this curriculum to help Tiny understand how music evokes passion and emotions on sensitive social issues.

Homeschool Music Curriculum on the Beat

Regarding geography, the introduction to the Rhine River was a chance to pull out our atlases to understand the world of Beethoven as he knew it from the time he was a boy to a famous composer.

Homeschool MusicCurriculum 16

Also, including lessons on the character qualities of Beethoven and tying that into a language arts lesson made studying this part more meaningful for Tiny.

Homeschool Music Curriculum 18

He loved doing the attribute acronym for his name as he was inspired by the motivating force of adjectives.

I know I have been sharing about the student activity book because comprehensive hardly seems accurate enough to describe it, but the other important element to this curriculum that equally stirred us beyond the music and activity book were the composer biographies.

I have seen these Great Musician Series Readers on some of the online homeschool book stores before and knew they were classical readers, but wasn’t quite sure how to use them in my day because I don’t have a musical background. 

The classical readers remind me of a living history book too because even though they are biographies they do a beautiful job of weaving the background information as you read about the lives of each musician. 

The readers have black and white simple, but treasured pictures along with the famous music of each composer in them. 

Tiny spent hours at the piano trying to mimic Beethoven after reading about him and some of the other composers each week.

Homeschool Composers Biography

As if all of this wasn’t enough to send us over the top about this curriculum, we could hardly wait to get started on the lapbook too about Beethhoven.

Music Composer Lapbooks

The lapbooks are on a separate cd which made it nice because I could just print off each week what we wanted to do that day.

Bell Book - Zeezok Lapbook
Homeschool Music Curriculum which includes a lapbook about composers.

The cd does have pictures of the lapbook on each composer along with helpful instructions as you prepare each one. 

Music Composer Lapbook 1
Music Composer Lapbook 2
MiniBook Chiming Bells Beethoven by ZeeZok

{The Chiming Tower Bells were used in the biography about Ludwig Beethoven to tell about his favorite things and it was one of Tiny’s favorite minibooks.}

So I was thrilled when I saw the color minibooks and the fact they contained information to teach your child. 

In other words, most of them had information to glue in the inside instead of giving your child tons of blank, useless pages. 

Sure there are minibooks for him to write in, but again the emphasis on an interactive hands-on tool should be about absorbing the information and not about always having to color, craft or cut.

The lapbook is just one of the many hands-on activities found through out the course.

 Too, there are more than enough activities to choose from whether your child is younger or older. 

For example, we left out one minibook that asked Tiny what some of his favorite things were.  It was just too young for him.  So I liked the fact that there were plenty of activities to choose from for every age.

I am putting the rest of my posts I did on this curriculum at the bottom of this one so you can read about them too.

Hands–On Music Ideas

Not having a music background, but wanting my sons to keep pursuing their love of it, I give Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades Book 1 a huge two thumbs up. 

If you have serious musicians in your family, you will appreciate too the scope and sequence found in the beginning of the student activity book showing music appreciation and music theory standards.

Product Facts a Glance Zeezok Publishing

Listening to Different Music Styles

Just listening to music has so many benefits.

Music is known to reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory.

These are all great benefits for a homeschooler.

But they also gain appreciation for and learn to identify different genres of music through listening to different styles of music.

This is not a comprehensive list but covers the most popular music styles.

One of the simplest ways to study each is to create a playlist using your favorite music streaming service like iTunes and add a few songs for each of the categories you wish to cover.

Then, as your child is listening, have them rate each style of music, encourage them to pay attention to the instruments, speed, and lyrics, and then make observations. They can also rate each on a scale of 1-10.

Music Styles

  1. Classical- This refers to Western art music composed during the Classical period (1750-1820) and beyond that.  It is known for its complexity and orchestration.
  2. Opera- A form of Western Classical music. Originally, operas were entirely sung, but nowadays they also include spoken dialogue. It tells a story through music and singing.
  3. Country- Has its roots in the folk traditions of the southern United States. It features acoustic guitars, fiddles, and storytelling lyrics about rural lifestyles, love, and heartbreak. Artists: Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Dwight Yokum
  4. Jazz- Jazz includes styles such as swing, bebop, and fusion. It has harmonies, improvisations, and syncopated rhythms. Artists: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, John Coltrane.
  5. Rock-Known for its use of electric guitars, drums, and strong vocal performances. It also includes sub-genres like classic rock, alternative rock, and heavy metal.
  6. Pop- Generally tends to be catchy and melodic. It has simple song structures, and electronic elements, and focuses on themes of love and relationships. Artists: Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber
  7. Reggae– Originated in Jamaica and is characterized by its off-beat rhythms, syncopation, and lyrics are often social and politically based.  Artists: Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff
  8. Dance/Electronic – Produced using electronic instruments, such as synthesizers and drum machines. It includes sub-genres like techno, house, and trance, known for their repetitive beats and electronic soundscapes.
  9. Hip Hop/rap – This style emerged out of African-American communities and incorporates elements of rap, beats, and sampling. It often addresses political as well as social issues.

Finally, look at some of these resources to help you build a study of music.

8 Books and Resources for a Music Unit Study

There are many concepts to cover for a music unit study and one of them is to learn about styles of music.

The Phantom of the Opera (SeaWolf Press Illustrated Classic)

The Phantom of the Opera was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois in 1909. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz. The setting of The Phantom of the Opera came from an actual Paris opera house, Palais Garnier, that Leroux had heard the rumors about from the time the opera house was finished. Act one of the opera Helle had just finished when a fire in the roof of the opera house had melted through a wire holding a counterweight for the chandelier, causing a crash that injured several and killed one. Using this accident paired with rumors of a ghost in that same opera house, Leroux wrote Le Fantôme de l'Opéra and published it in 1910

    Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades: Book 1

    Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades: Book 1 will introduce children to seven different composers, dating from 1685 to 1828 (Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini and Schubert). Each composer's childhood and adult life are vividly described in individual biographies. Every important incident is mentioned and every detail of the stories is true. Each book contains written music and delightful pictures throughout. It is more than the human side of these books that will make them live, for in the music the great masters breathe. This book includes a variety of hands-on activities such as: geography lessons, history lessons, recipes, instrument studies, music vocabulary, hand writing, musical facts of the Classical period, timelines, character trait studies, and so much more. Geared for a variety of learners-auditory, kinesthetic, visual, and just plain "active"-the Student Activity Book is an excellent companion to your reading experience. * Exceeds all of the national standards required for music appreciation (kindergarten - sixth grade.) * User- friendly for multi-age groups * Geared for a variety of learners- visual, auditory and kinesthetic * Incorporates activities from across the curriculum.

    The Music Appreciation: Middle Ages Thru Classical Era Course

    The Music Appreciation: Middle Ages Thru Classical Era course consists of 36 lessons about the music, genres, styles, and composers of Western Music from 450-1800. You'll learn about Gregorian Chant, the beginnings of musical notation, organum, Medieval church modes, Hildegard von Bingen, Guido d'Arezzo, Josquin des Prez, madrigals, motets, the beginnings of opera, music of the Reformation, Buxtehude, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, hymn writers, Beethoven, and many more!

    A History of Musical Style (Dover Books On Music: History)

    Style — the distinctive manner of presentation, construction, and execution in any art — is a topic of primary importance in music history. This highly regarded text by noted musicologist Richard Crocker (University of California, Berkeley) takes a much-needed fresh look at the subject and attempts to reshape some basic ideas in the light of modern research. Seeking the reasons for stylistic change within the history of style itself (rather than in the history of men or of ideas), this enlightening account shows how music, growing out of its own past, has shaped its own development.Professor Crocker's exceptionally clear and systematic presentation enables students to easily follow the evolution of Western musical style from Gregorian Chant (ca. 750) to the atonal music of the mid-20th century. The book stresses the continuity of basic musical principles over long periods of history, while it explores in detail moments of high stylistic achievement and the composers who exemplified them.

    What Is Rock and Roll? (What Was?)

    Rock and roll sprang from a combination of African-American genres, Western swing, and country music that exploded in post World War II America. Jim O'Connor explains what constitutes rock music, follows its history and sub-genres through famous musicians and groups, and shows how rock became so much more than just a style of music influencing fashion, language, and lifestyle.

    Fun & Easy Hands-on Ideas with Zeezok Music Appreciation

    Tiny has been loving the easy hands-on activities he has been doing as we have been going through the curriculum by Zeezok Music Appreciation. Also, look at Fun Facts About the Phantom of the Opera & Styles of Music Unit Study.

    One of the reasons I wanted to review this curriculum was because of our love of unit studies. 

    Fun & Easy Hands-on Ideas with Zeezok Music Appreciation

    The homeschool music curriculum is Zeezok Music Appreciation – Book 1.

    Fun & Easy Hands-on Ideas with Zeezok Music Appreciation

    Many curriculum providers may not have on their website a product description of their curriculum as a unit study.

    However, this curriculum goes above and beyond in fitting my description of a comprehensive unit study.

    Beethovens Porridge

    Zeezok Music Appreciation

    Beyond having work texts, each unit is filled with hands-on ideas that are easy.  

    Sometimes I know I fuss over hands-on ideas too much, but they don’t have to be complicated. 

    I always have to remind myself of that too.  

    Also though in the music appreciation curriculum other subjects like history, geography and language arts are certainly included.

    You’ll love Zeezok Music Appreciation – Book 1.

    You know I told you we honed in on a study of Beethoven and one easy hands-on idea suggested was to make Beethoven’s porridge.

    Beethovens Porridge 2
    Beethovens Porridge 3

    We tweaked the activity a bit to fit our need, plus the original recipe I wanted to preserve in the curriculum so I don’t ruin any surprises for you.

    Fun & Easy Hands-on Ideas with Zeezok Music Appreciation

    We have enjoyed getting to know Beethoven’s lively music personality as he directed from his piano. 

    He would forget that he was a soloist as he became so engrossed in it that he would jump up and begin conducting.  We feel kindred spirits with him as he would leap in the air at the loud parts, wave his arms to the skies and even crouch in quiet parts.

    Look at the parts that come with the curriculum Zeezok Music Appreciation – Book 1.

    Tiny would not ever forgive me if I showed you the pictures I took as he acted that out when reading about those tidbits on Beethoven and listening to his music. 

    Easy Hands-On Ideas for Music Appreciation

    The porridge pictures are not quite as exciting, you’ll just have to imagine the other pictures.

    Later this month, I will be posting a full review on this curriculum that we are savoring every bit of the way. 

    Because there is no way in one post I can tell you the things we have been loving about our music curriculum, I shared a few other things we have done on this unit below.

    Beethoven & The French Revolution Minibook (Music Unit Study)

    French Revolution & Beethoven Collage

    So you know we have been trying to get one more unit study in before we have to think about moving. {I think we can, I think we can.}

    Zeezok Publishing Review

    But, one thing I have not told you about yet that we love, is that I have been reviewing The Music Appreciation Collection by Zeezok Publishing.

    Before I say anything else, let me just pause and say “Wow”!  I had no idea that we would love it so much and that it would be so extensive with background information on the life of each music composer and not just music CDs.

    Zeezok Publishing Review Beethoven Lapbook and Reader

    Though I do say it from time to time, I want you to know too that I do not accept every offer made to me for free curriculum to review.  But, when I do accept I am thinking it would make a great fit for our family and this curriculum is no exception. 

    It tops the favorites list too and we are not finished with it yet.   One thing that appealed to me right away are the lapbooks on each composer as well as the beautiful readers.

    Zeezok Publishing Review Activity Book

    (activity book with a variety of extensive activities)

    I won’t be posting the review until next month, but just wanted you to get a sneak peek.

    Because we have been learning so much from it, I wanted to share a connection to our French Revolution unit study and that is about Beethoven. 

    We were delighted to know that our composer study lined up with our unit study.  I had no way of knowing that of course when I accepted the offer.  So this was a nice surprise.

    Though I recalled the time period that Beethoven lived in, I knew he was not from France.  But, after using Zeezok’s Music Appreciation activity book we realized that the French Revolution did affect Beethoven. 

    Sure he knew about the French Revolution because it was a significant event of that time period, but I didn’t really know any details.  The activity for the lesson pointed out that he could not travel to Vienna because the city was not safe because of the uprising.

    Too, he very much was affected by the bombing of Napoleon Bonaparte.  Though technically, Austria was bombed when Napoleon Bonaparte was emperor, it had its roots in the French Revolution.

    French Revolution & Beethoven @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

    Because we are doing a full lapbook from Zeezok on Beethoven coming up next month, I created this free minibook to go with our current unit study about the French Revolution. 

    We are using it to note a few facts about Beethoven so that Tiny remembers he lived during this time period.

    Download the free minibook on Beethoven here.

    I love it when we discover an unplanned music tie in to our unit study.  Do you seize those moments too?
