The program is built for classrooms, but they also are putting together a ‘HOMESCHOOL’ edition that has extra lesson plan ideas for you to tailor it to smaller groups or just your own set of kids!
#Quaver world of music full
Not only is the program a full music curriculum, but it offers a website for kids to CREATE their own music and reinforce what they have learned through cool games (from what I’ve heard, you might even be able to hook up an electronic keyboard and have the program write your music for you if you compose your own songs!). Quaver’s Marvelous World of Music is going to ROCK music education in a big way! It’s the best music program I have seen on the market yet. īoy, I’m so glad Graham got hooked up with the right team of people that made this project (which has been in the work for many years) possible. He’s the star of the program – the crazy guy who actually teaches the kids on the videos. THE ‘Quaver’, however, is an energetic, transplanted Brittish guy named Graham Hepburn – who’s passion is teaching kids about music. So what is all this about a Quaver? Well, a quaver is an eighth note. You’ve got to see it to believe how good it is… so watch this quick flick for a taste of the magic:
You’ll try, but you won’t be able to get it out of your head! I want you to hear from me – first hand – about this amazing musical curriculum… because it really IS ‘Marvelous’!Īnd watch out for that theme song. …however, after spending the last few weeks working on homeschool extra-curricular lesson plans to go along with a few of the Quaver episodes, I didn’t think that would be fair to Quaver and his team. (I know she wouldn’t have minded since she’s my buddy and she’s busy at Blissdom where they are giving away a copy of the Quaver program this weekend – she wouldn’t have noticed anyway) So don’t just listen to my jabber over here – be sure to visit their sites and see more photos and get more of the scoop!īeing the lazy pregnant blogger that I am right now, I was tempted to just link you over to Dawn’s place and say, “What She Said”… They were my partners in crime during the big ‘ Secret Weekend‘ get-away, remember? The one in which I, ‘Cinderella-Homeschool-Mom’ was whisked away to Nashville, treated like a queen, and given an iPad? I’m pretty sure that they all got their Quaver posts up yesterday. My homeschooling friends Meghan, Sue, Dawn, Jenn, Cathy – who isn’t pictured because she’s not a blogger yet… (and blog friend Sami – who isn’t homeschooling yet) are all on the Quaver Homeschool Advisory Counsil. I’m glad I have an excuse (but am hopeful that the excuse will decide to make his debut today). I just seem to be late at everything lately. I like being fashionably late, so my post is going up today.Īctually, I don’t really like being fashionably late. Yesterday was the big announcement – about Quaver’s Wonderful World of Music.
