Activities are designed to be done at home with regular household supplies. Once in a while, there may be additional supplies needed (for example, chocolate bars in Lesson 8.)
A listening platform and the use of the internet (mainly for YouTube video clips) is highly recommended! If you prefer to make the most use of your time, the Listening Suggestions can be played during the activity time. All suggestions can be found on YouTube or on your favourite listening platform.

✨ Jennifer says: "I have little background in music and was asked to teach a music in my school. I found your site and am using prelude as supplemental curriculum for ideas and guidance as I create lesson plans for my third grade class. We are learning together and it is fantastic. Thank you for saving my year and relieving some stress."
✨ Marie says: "This curriculum so engaging and easy to use. I love how I can pull it out with no prep. We all enjoy learning from it and it has opened the door to further learning many times. Thank-you for the excellent resource!"
