Free Sheet Music

I play organ.  Not very well or very often, but I do enjoy it hugely.  For most of my adult life I’ve thought vaguely of owning Bach’s Eight Little Preludes and Fugues for Organ.  When I was still taking lessons, I memorized some of them, but I never did learn them all….and this summer, relearning the [...]

Homeschool Crew Review: KinderBach

I thought it was just some massive, boring worksheet factory.  Dutifully I began to explore the site so that I could write a review… and what I found thrilled me.  There’s [...]

Read-Alouds: The Trapp Family Singers

  We just finished reading The Trapp Family Singers. Yes, the book that led to The Sound of Music.    As you know, Maria was preparing to become a nun when she was assigned to be governess to Baron Von Trapp’s motherless children.  She fell in love with the children, the whole family fell in [...]
