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 7-8
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 BAND 1 - For students ages 9+
A full concert band experience designed for homeschool students. Open to complete beginners and experienced musicians.
Students learn proper technique, music reading, and ensemble skills across woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
Instruments needed: Families will need to provide their students instrument along with any necessary accessories such as reeds, cork grease, valve oil, etc. They will also need a method book and a music stand for home use. We will send recommendations in your welcome email after you register.

BAND FEES
Thankfully, we have received enough donations to cover our costs of operation for the fall semester, so this service is now free to all families.
If you were invoiced before the donation came in, your invoice has been cancelled. If you paid, your payment is being refunded. Please email info@hmamusic.org if you have any questions or concerns regarding this.
LOCATION - We are so fortunate to have a church in our community open its doors to our homeschool families, so all rehearsals and our final performance will be held at:
