Music engages the whole brain and helps to improve memory through rhyme, rhythm and melody. This allows children to store information in their long-term memories more easily. Music is also an excellent medium for self-expression as it fosters creativity and imagination.
At Learn Music Online, we understand the importance of family involvement in a child's education. Our platform offers engaging music lessons designed to inspire creativity and foster a love of music from an early age. With 10 modules aligned with the K-12 curriculum, parents can easily support their child's musical journey at home. Advance your child's musical learning with these year and activity-based curriculum lessons.
Each lesson topic is color-coded to indicate its primary activity type and shows the musical concepts covered and year-level guidelines.
