Creative Keys: Nordic Adventures Unit 1

19 Episodes

Travel the world with music and through literature, experiencing our unique method that teaches children music from the inside out, the intuitive way. This isn’t just Hot Cross Buns and Mary Had a Little Lamb - all the music is newly composed for your family to take a journey to other places and times through singing, rhythm, chanting, and navigating the geography of the piano while exploring the geography of the Nordic countries.

The curriculum is written by Kathryn Brunner and based on Edwin Gordon's Music Learning Theory. Children will be acculturated to duple and triple meter along with all seven western tonalities.

You'll also want to get the Practice Book for this course. The Practice Book, available in our online store, comes with daily practice prompts to grow your skills by expanding upon the the material in the lesson videos.
