About Us

Goals

Our philosophy is to offer well-organized, curated lessons and educational material. As parents and class volunteers, we are excited and overwhelmed by the amount of educational content freely available at our fingertips. The challenge is to cut through the clutter, advertising and immense detail and provide focused lessons for our kids. The result is this site–our effort to create clear, age-appropriate materials for music, reading, vocabulary and other educational topics. We do not underestimate the abilities of our kiddos, and try to make it fun and interesting as well! Thank you for your interest and involvement.

For the music portion of this site, we would like to thank the teachers and fellow music docents we have volunteered with for the past fifteen years, especially the kind folks who reviewed this site and provided input. Thanks to Kana Lowe and Trang Surve for sending their favorite YouTube links and suggestions. 

This music content is based on the music sections of the book series "What You Nth Grader Needs to Know." Descriptions are often leveraged from Wikipedia.

We would also like to thank the educational and music community in general for sharing their work for public use on YouTube, as a large part of these lessons rely on the work of these creators.
