Reader, The answer is YES! Yes, even if you feel uncertain about where to start with fine arts education... Even if you don't have music or art training yourself... Even if you're so busy you're not sure you can fit in these "extracurriculars" right now... Even if your children have a range of ages, abilities, and interests. With the expert tips shared at the Music & Art Homeschool Summit, you can say a confident "YES!" to incorporating music and art, not just as extras, but as solid components of your child's core education. I really want this for you. You see, I know from experience how meaningful music participation and music mastery can be for a child. For at least six years, homeschool choir was my favorite social outlet, aside from church choir. Coming together with others to practice making our voices soar was what I looked forward to the most every week! My parents sacrificed financially to make sure I had musical opportunities beyond choir, too. In my speaker interview for the summit, I open up about something I've never shared with an audience before: what it was like to compete in high school vocal contests. I want you to catch the vision for how your child can grow in knowledge and confidence through enjoyment of music. In less than a week, the summit goes live. You can hear my interview (for one day only) on Wednesday, March 12. Until then, you can get your FREE pass by signing up here. Sharon P.S. Those high school contests led me to a music scholarship that partially paid for my college education! You can hear the full story by signing up for the live summit.
