We're Going Online!

 

The First Note Music Curriculum will be available on an annual subscription basis this coming school year! 

 

New Menu Page

 

All 30 lessons are currently in HD DVD format with the 200+ page teacher manual available in both DVD and hard copy, and all 48 songs in CD format. By adding an online option, First Note will be made available on a web-based subscription to anyone/anywhere at far lower cost, and enable CMF to make real time program modifications and improvements.

We'll also be adding program tutorials and classroom videos showcasing various teaching styles and strategies. We are also exploring the idea of making it available to the families of those subscriber schools for home use.

  

Thank you!

 

Once again, the Norman Archibald Charitable Foundation has supported CMF with a grant!  This latest investment funds the development of the online version of the First Note music program. It will make the program more accessible, by making it more affordable.

Have a Great Summer!  

 

Another school year has passed, and many educators are already thinking about the 2013-2014 school year. Some are still working under a cloud of Schools Out uncertainty, as budgets that have already been trimmed back are still not known. On top of that, instituting changes to comply with Common Core and other requirements add even more to the pressures facing those who are tasked with educating our children. We hope that our music curriculum plays at least a small part in easing some of these pressures and adds a little fun to the school day as well!

Last week, CMF staff spent several hours assisting teachers collect data from our Kindergartners and first graders (5-7 yrs. old) to determine just what they learned in Year 1 of the First Note Music Curriculum.

We'll complete the data collection by the end of this month and forward on for evaluation, where the findings will be published.
