My husband can pull out his guitar and the kids can pull out their bells and play together because they’ve memorized the melodies of a handful of songs.They are learning the names of chords and what notes are used to build them.
#PRESCHOOL PRODIGIES HOW TO#
This is something I never knew how to do despite participating in choir as a kid. My kids can translate easily between solfege, color, number, letter names, etc.They now have a complete preschool program (what my kids are working through now), have started publishing lessons in the primary program, have tons of fun supplemental videos in their Melodies series, and are now rolling out lessons for the recorder.įinally, here’s some of the benefits I’ve seen in my children over the past year that we’ve been using Prodigies. The team at Prodigies Music is constantly adding to their program, which means that the money I put down for our membership goes farther and farther.Most teachers wouldn’t dream that teaching all of this at such early ages is possible. While I’m sure the local classes are nice, they aren’t using the Prodigies program–which is colorful, engaging, and focuses not only on meaningful play with pitch to train a child’s ears, but also on learning to translate between the color names, number names, letter names, AND solfege names of the notes of the major scale.This means I have an awesome curriculum (and my kids have a fun music teacher!) available any time it fits our needs or schedule. We have access to all the materials (videos, workbooks, songbooks) both online and as downloadable files for our computer.We can do music lessons every day in the comfort of our own home–this again ups the amount of instruction and guided practice, allowing kids to go deeper and practice regularly without mom having to muster up the energy or having to waiting on the next class day to roll around.This would be even more economical for a larger family. We paid one price for the whole family for life–within just one year of weekly local classes for two children, we would have paid the same amount for FAR less instruction.Here’s why the Prodigies Lifetime Membership beat the local class option hands-down:
So impressed that after crunching numbers and comparing our options, we bought the Lifetime Membership for our family.
#PRESCHOOL PRODIGIES FOR FREE#
We sampled the videos they made available for free on YouTube, and I was impressed. We looked at local general music classes, and probably would have gone that route if we hadn’t found Prodigies.
But it’s hard to find the time to introduce them to the basics of music theory with my husband’s busy work schedule and the fact that I’m already teaching them every other subject in our homeschool.
