Getting Started with Our If It Isn’t Baroque . . . The History of Western Music Homeschool Course

The If It Isn’t Baroque . . . The History of Western Music homeschool course begins with the study of music in ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc., and progresses through Biblical times, Medieval times, the Renaissance, and modern music. Explanations are provided to the homeschool student to differentiate the types of music, and instructions are given to make some of the instruments from ancient and Biblical times. Lessons suggest listening activities for the various types of music and research activities for the homeschool student to explore them more deeply. These homeschool music lessons should be studied in consecutive order, as they progress through time and therefore build on each other. The If It Isn’t Baroque…The History of Western Music course may be taken independently of Music Theory I & II.
