ABOUT US
The Homeschool Music Association exists to make music education accessible to every homeschool family. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to create, explore, and perform - without financial barriers.
OUR PROGRAMS
LITTLE NOTES - Ages 8-9
An introduction to music through the recorder and other handheld instruments. Students will learn the basics of rhythm, note reading, and ensemble playing in a fun and supportive group setting.
This program prepares young musicians for a smooth transition into band instruments when they are ready.
Instruments needed: Soprano Recorder with Baroque Fingering
All other materials will be provided by HMA.
BEGINNING WINDS - For students ages 10+
Students will learn the fundamentals of playing a wind instrument in a fun, supportive group setting. This class covers basic music reading, rhythm, tone production, and ensemble skills.
Perfect for beginners with little to no experience - students will make their first sounds, learn simple songs, and build the confidence to play together as a wind ensemble.
BEGINNING PERCUSSION - Ages 10+
Students will explore the exciting world of percussion, learning the foundations of rhythm, technique, and teamwork. This class is mostly played on a practice pad as we progress through our method book, but also introduces different types of drums, the xylophone, and other percussion instruments.
We separate winds and percussion while they're learning how to play their instruments in Book 1 of their Method Book. Once we reach Book 2, they will come together and learn how to play as a band.
