It is Gena's desire to help all homeschoolers include music in their homeschools!


"I haven't even started but after browsing through all the links I am absolutely speechless. What an incredible way to study such a fun topic like a musical. You are genius! I can't wait to get my kids on board the musical train. I took Musical History in college on the East Coast years ago while on exchange from my Az university. I also was a stage mgr for Beauty & the Beast when it went to Broadway from Disneyland and got to be there for the premier with my original cast. My son will be performing in March at Carnegie for a strings invitational music festival and will be attending a couple musicals. This is going to be fun" ~Allison W.

"My boys are already working through [Gena's] 20th Century Music Appreciation Course (and loving it), but now they want to take a detour and soak up all the info about the 10 musicals included in this course, since there are quite a few that they aren't familiar with. You can bet that they'll all be into it within a couple days. And why shouldn't they? Not only are musicals fun and entertaining, but they are often a memorable depiction of different points in history, and are full of clever tidbits that have been sewn into the verbal fabric of our culture! Knowing where those sayings come from and the context for them makes language and relating to others more fun! The course says it's for elementary students, but older kids (and YOU) will enjoy it too." ~Erica Johns, owner of Enrichment Studies.com, mom of 4 teen sons

"This is so exciting! My children didn't want to stop going through the musicals....We LOVE musicals, thank you making this a part of our studies." ~Jamie
