How to Use

How to use:

Welcome to the Music of Christmas course!

There are three full years of lessons available.

Each "Lecture" is a new Christmas Music Lesson. Choose to go through one a day with your kids or spend a whole week (or longer) on it by delving deeper into the subject, watching the videos again, and exploring related websites. As you work on the course, it automatically keeps track of where you are. When finished with a lesson, click "Complete and Continue" to move on. You can always come back to past lessons, though. Suggested schedule ideas are included for each "Year's" Christmas lessons.

The lessons sometimes include PDF worksheets or printables. These are optional, but you might find them useful to print out for your kids to use for a lesson. You can print out some that can be used in almost all lessons.

If you want to go beyond the 15 minutes or so of the lesson, sometimes optional materials are referenced, such as books, DVDs, or CDs. If you can't find these at your library, I have linked to a place you can purchase them online. In addition, sometimes art or craft projects are included.

Finally, since every family is different in what you deem appropriate for your kids to watch or read, you may want to preview all videos and websites ahead of time. I did feel these were appropriate for my elementary-aged children.


What do I do if a link is broken or a video is no longer available?

Simply leave a comment right there at the lesson or email Gena at [email protected], and I'll get it fixed ASAP! Thank you for your help and for taking the extra time to let me know about them.

What to do if you are seeing inappropriate ads with the YouTube videos:

We are thankful for the "free" resource of YouTube, but we do occasionally have to let their ads run. If you are noticing that you are seeing some inappropriate ads, see this link which will give you ways to block advertisers. You might also need to clear your cookies/history. And be sure YouTube is set to restricted mode.
