Stage 1: Beginner: "Getting it Done" Stage

Description

In the "Getting it Done" stage, you are finally doing music education with your kids. Yay! Each day, or at least once a week, you open your phone, tablet, or computer and play one of the lessons from MIOH+. You're using the Monthly Calendar, which tells you which lesson to do each day; or you're going through one of the courses and doing the next lesson in order; or your high schooler has taken responsibility to do their course lessons each week on their own!

Milestones

• Did you choose what you'll do for music this week? Monthly calendar or one of the courses?
• Did you do at least one music lesson each week for three months and mark it on the monthly calendar?
• Did you fill out the Certificate of Completion if you finished a monthly calendar (at least 1 day per week) or a full course?

Action Items

1. Fill out the Certificate of Completion each time you finish a monthly music calendar of lessons or a course. After three months, you're ready to move to the "Going and Growing" stage!
