Courses by Susan

Fun with Music is a collection of games designed to help students of all ages learn important musical terminology including note names, music intervals and key signatures, symbols, and other terms. These games can be adapted in countless ways to fit your student’s age and interest level.

Reader’s Theater is a series of short scripts designed to be read by two or more students. Memorization is not required because the focus on this form of drama is on reading the work with expression rather than reciting it. They are easily adapted to single-child households by having a parent read opposite the child or by having the child read the play in two different “voices.” Be sure to download the Introduction, Tips, and How-Tos from the Course Details tab.
