I LOVE these music studies. One of my favorite parts of enrichment studies, it makes learning such a joy. Thanks so much for your work; it makes my work as a teacher less stressful. It makes for an easy-peasy music lesson. You did all the work and I just follow in your footsteps.
Oh my goodness. This is so beautiful. She really captures me and brings me right in with her kindness and love for teaching. I can sure only hope to be able to teach in the same way. This was so fun! I’m so so excited to show my kids.
Thank you for such a sweet and thoughtful reply! Charlotte Mason gives our hearts such a delight that we naturally want to bless our own children with it; you will be wonderful!! Enjoy your music studies.
Love your helpful tutorials! It's made me much more confident in bringing CM into our home. Every time I'm confused on the way a certain lesson is presented, I search your videos 😍😍
If only I had teachers with your techniques, I would have a much more rounded understanding of the world of music!
Love this series.
Thank you! It's so helpful to see the lesson demonstrated.
Thank you for this series of how to videos. Very helpful.
This was absolutely wonderful and so useful. I’ve been teaching my children like this since they were toddlers and never knew it was Charlotte Mason method. I’ll be homeschooling them for the first time this next school year and I’ve been learning a ton with your videos. Thank you so much for the work you do. God bless 🙏
Great demonstration of music appreciation lessons for younger children! That's a good start. So far, that's the best I have seen online. A good supplement would be regular instrumental lessons either with a good program online or with a music teacher, or both.
Full immersion is important to develop and maintain the interest.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! Charlotte Mason would agree with you when it comes to learning an instrument, here are some of her thoughts on that topic: simplycharlottemason.com/blog/teaching-music-subject-by-subject-part-10/
Thank you so much for this.
My son is interesting in everything that has to do with music since he was a baby, I am reading and getting information as much as I can to do music studies, won’t be able this year but is on my plans for the next one if God permits. Thanks for sharing, this was very helpful.
I subscribed a while ago can’t believe I didn’t see this video before.
I was looking forward to buying this wonderful material but I live in Argentina. I wish I lived in the USA. Greetings from Argentina! Thanks for your valuable videos and resources!!
We do ship to Argentina, and we have downloadable versions of most of our resources available.
Thanks so much for these helpful videos! I was wondering whether you might consider selling the Music Study with the Masters booklets without the CDs as an option. I already have a pretty good music library and many pieces can be found on TH-cam and other places. I'd be interested in purchasing several of the composer study guides, but am balking a little at the price since I don't really need the CDs. Blessings!
We have no plans to offer the books in the Music Study with the Masters kits separately.
Perhaps one minute per grade level is a reasonable expectation for attentiveness during a musical selection (First grade one minute, fifth grade five minutes, etc).
Hello! Thank you! Which artists are playing the pieces?
For Music Study with the Masters we've licensed quality tracks from many orchestras and musicians.
How would you apply this to a hymn study or is there a separate method for hymns? Could you possibly do a video with a hymn study? I'm loving all of the content! Thank you so much!
Hymn Study has been a treasured time with many families. Songs learned in years past help to anchor us in times of joy and sorrow. We do not apply the Scripture Memory system to hymns however we've found that with repetition, hymns are picked up fairly quickly.

@@SimplyCharlotteMason Thank you!
Hello, what age is the second, fuller biography aimed towards for reading on their own. There are a lot of "big" words in those studies that my 7th grader is struggling to understand by herself.
This is a great question and one that will likely vary from child to child. If your child is capable of reading them independently with just a bit of help here and there for the words, you can go ahead and help them build their vocabulary along the way. If they are really struggling with it, you may want to keep working through it with them until they are in the high school grades where they may be able to understand both more of the writing as well as the concepts on their own.
What if an autistic student won't accept to listen to the music (they want you to turn it off)?
I would encourage you to look at three things:
(1) Check the volume. It may be that the music is too loud and is hurting the child's ears. My autistic daughter has very sensitive hearing.
(2) Check the device. Music played on a phone sounds much more "tinny" because it leaves out many of the lower frequencies. You might try playing the music on a good set of speakers instead.
(3) Check the music piece itself. There are many reasons a particular piece might not sound appealing to an autistic child. It might be too "busy" with lots of notes. Perhaps a slower, gentler piece would be better. It might be too "crowded" with lots of instruments. You might try a solo or duet piece instead; for example, a piano solo as opposed to a full orchestra. In other words, don't assume that a negative reaction to one composer or one piece rules out all music appreciation. There are many styles from which to choose.
If the child is verbal, you can try one of the suggestions above and ask whether that's better. If the child is non-verbal, take your cues from his body language and proceed gently and cautiously. And if all music is causing increased anxiety or physical pain, respect your child and don't push it.
You guys don't have Mozart!!??!?
Not *yet*. 😉 There are more in the works!
