Which Music in Our Homeschool Plus Membership Tier is Right for You? Find the Best Fit for Your Family at Music in Our Homeschool Plus

Gena: [00:00:00] Are you looking for a simple, stress-free way to include music and fine arts in your homeschool? Whether you're just getting started or ready to dive in deep, the Music in Our Homeschool Plus Membership makes it easy to bring a high-quality music and fine arts education to your homeschool with zero prep.

As a fellow homeschool mom, I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed. That's why I created Music in Our Homeschool Plus, to give families like yours an easy, joyful way to bring music and the arts into your daily life. I'd love for you to join our growing community of homeschoolers who are discovering how simple and enriching it can be.

Right now I have something brand new. I just added to the membership. We have four tiers. And that means that families of all sizes and stages can choose the level that's right for you. Let's walk through the benefits of each tier [00:01:00] today so you can confidently pick the best one.

If you are a homeschooler looking for ways to easily and affordably include a quality music education in your homeschool, you've come to the right place. This is the music in our homeschool podcast. I'm Gina Mayo, homeschooling mom of eight, a music teacher for over 30 years.

Gena: Let's start with what is Music in Our Homeschool Plus? It's an online membership that gives you access to click-and-go music and fine arts lessons designed for preschool through high school students . It was created by me, a veteran homeschooling mom and a music teacher, and it's a one stop resource for music appreciation, music theory, instrument instruction, art lessons, composer studies, and so much more.

Whether you and your students are brand new to music or you have musically inclined kids, [00:02:00] MIOH Plus helps you nurture creativity without overwhelm.

Who would want to join Music in Our Homeschool Plus? Well, this is what I've heard from some of my members.

A mom who says, "Music is important, just hard to get done," or, "I like that my kids can go and do this on their own," or, "Music is one subject that just cannot be learned by books alone, and I'm no expert on how to go about teaching it," or "We are on a tight budget."

Another homeschooling mom K.S. said this: "Hi, I'm a homeschool mama to four kids. My first is an adult now and my youngest is seven. My daughter started singing before she talked in sentences and music still runs through her blood. Music is such an international language. Recently, I read an article about the importance of music on our [00:03:00] brains. It made me regret that my oldest never had any music lessons. I just came across MIOH this week and purchased it. Thank you for this, Gena. I'm excited to incorporate it into our homeschool."

All right. Let's get into the four tiers. Here's a breakdown, so you could pick the best one for your family. The names of them are Basic, Core, Premium, and School/ Co-op.

The Basic tier is $19 a month or $190 a year. You get two months free with that option. It's perfect for families who want an affordable and straightforward way to get started. You get the Monthly Music Calendar with links to five 15-minute click-and-go music lessons each week. A full set of Fine Art Pages every month featuring an artist or a themed set of fine art. [00:04:00] You get full access to seven elementary music courses. That's a $363 value, and a couple of those are World Music, American Music, Learn Classical Music with Cartoons, and Music Lessons for Holidays and Special Days, and you get a weekly email that has lesson links, tips, reminders, and encouragement. This tier is great for homeschoolers who want consistent exposure to music without any planning.

Then we move on to the Core tier. This one is $29 a month or $290 a year, two months free. It's perfect for families who want more structure and variety in their homeschool. You get everything I just mentioned from the Basic tier. You get full access to every course and resource in the Music in Our Homeschool library, except for KinderBach. [00:05:00] You get content for preschool through high school, plus courses for homeschooling parents. And some of those courses are in music appreciation, art appreciation, beginning instrument lessons, music theory, Enrichment Studies, and more.

Then we move on to the Premium tier. This one is $39 a month or $390 a year, and you get two months free. It's perfect for families who want live instruction, fun contests and bonus lessons. You get everything I just mentioned in the Core tier, a live music lesson each month with me and replays are available, plus the full archive of past music lessons. A live painting lesson every month, and replays are also available for that, and you get the full archive of past lessons. Bonus video lessons from guest educators and a [00:06:00] monthly $39 Amazon gift card giveaway. This tier brings your music and arts education to life with interactive experiences and extras that your kids will love.

And the final tier is called School/ Co-op, and it's $59 a month or $590 a year, and you get two months free. This tier is perfect for homeschool co-ops, micro schools, pods groups, or regular schools. You get everything that was mentioned in the Core tier. (Live lessons are not available for School/ Co-op tier.) You get a full license to use the materials in your group or school setting for all grade levels and all classrooms. If you're teaching multiple families in a group or a school, this is the tier for you.

Let me tell you another testimonial from C. D. She said, "Hello. I'm a [00:07:00] mom to six kids, five in elementary and one toddler. We live in Kenya and serve as missionaries. I am a math and science person and never studied music much in my youth. We've been really enjoying this program. It's great being able to provide an interesting and robust music education with no planning. I love what I am learning too."

So how can you make MIOH Plus work for your busy homeschool? We know homeschool moms are busy. That's why I created Music in Our Homeschool Plus. It was designed to be zero prep. Most lessons just take 15 minutes a day, and they're completely self-guided. You could simply open your email, click the day's lesson, and let your child dive in independently while you assist another student or get dinner started.

Whether you're using it during morning time with all your [00:08:00] kids together, or a quiet afternoon block, or even on the go, MIOH Plus fits perfectly into your routine. Now, why do you want to join now, just before summer? Well, summer is actually the perfect time to join. Many families have a hard time fitting in music and fine arts into the regular school year. So summer offers a slower pace and more flexibility.

You can use MIOH Plus to fill in your learning gaps with enriching lessons that your kids will love without it feeling too much like school. You might wanna try something new like learning to play the recorder or guitar, work on your singing, or start a music theory course.

Maybe one of your students wants to do it as a credit course this summer. Plus, when you join now, you'll lock in your rate and get immediate access to all current and upcoming summer [00:09:00] content, including the live music and painting lessons, as well as seasonal resources.

Here's another testimonial. This one from K.H. "I am using it as part of our morning basket time with my 12-year-old grandson. He is not much into this part of music, but we try to get as much culture as he can stand. We are doing Folk Songs and have done Special Days." That's from K.H. The Folk Songs is a course called A Folk Song a Week and Special Days, she was referring to the course called Music Lessons for Holidays and Special Days.

So as I mentioned, the levels that MIOH Plus is for is all grade levels, preschool through high school. We have specific courses for each of those levels. Plus there's some that work for all levels together.

And, yes, I also mentioned as well that MIOH Plus [00:10:00] is great for fine arts credit for your high school transcript.

I have three full music appreciation, music history courses at the high school level. There's, the different instrument instruction like Bass Guitar Time with Caleb, and then there's also Charlotte Mason Inspired High School Fine Arts and two music theory courses, Beginning Music Theory for Teens and Advanced Music Theory.

One question I get is, can I cancel anytime? And the answer is yes. I have made canceling as simple and hassle-free as possible. You can manage your membership from your account dashboard, or you can go to MusicinOurHomeschool.com/cancel to find the instructions.

So are you ready to join? No matter your homeschool style or experience, Music in Our Homeschool Plus has a tier designed to make music and fine arts easy and [00:11:00] fit perfectly for your family. Still not sure which tier to choose? Ask yourself these questions.

Do you want pre-planned lessons you don't have to prep? Go Basic.

Do you want full access to all courses? Choose Core.

Do you love live classes and extras? Go Premium.

Are you teaching kids from multiple families in a co-op group or school? You'll need the School/ Co-op tier then.

So head over to MusicinOurHomeschool.com/membership to choose your tier and get started today.
