Need music credits? Here are some ideas how to get them.
Many homeschooling parents are musically talented and teach their own child (and often others as well) voice or instruments. And, many homeschooling parents are not talented in that area and seek (often struggle) to fill the music.
Most simply have their child take lessons in voice, piano, guitar or some other instruments. Lessons can be obtained through homeschool coops, private sources, churches, community choirs, community bands, and many colleges. Some also join children's theatre groups that put on musicals.
If such resources are not available, you can still learn, by using your library. Ours has recordings in classical music, which you can check out, listen to and supplement with books to learn about the composers. There are also several places on line that offer free online lessons via u-tube.
Bartering is also an option. Trade out a service you can offer for lessons, or tutor or teach someone else's child in exchange for them teaching yours music.
We have at one time or another, been involved in almost off of the above. Instruments played in our home include (or have included--some they have quit on to learn a new one) piano, drums, flute, violin, guitar and harmonica.

Kansas City, MO 64151
Contact: Mindy Akright
7akrights@sbcglobal.net (preferred)

It's back by popular demand and it's coming up fast and furious! We
are having the sale in a different location due to renovations at
Midwestern Seminary. This year the sale will be held at Heartland
Church of Christ (where the monthly CPHE meetings are held).
While the facilities may prove to be larger, we face a different
challenge this year. There are a very limited amount of tables
available for use. The pricing is based upon members/non-members as
well those who use a provided table and those who bring their own or
just use floor space. A space of about 6' will be assigned to you
(please take that into consideration when you bring your tables).
The pricing is as follows:
Free for current CPHE members who bring their own table or use floor
space.
$3 for current CPHE members who use a table provided (tables are
limited and will be assigned first contact first serve).
$5 for non-members who bring their own table or use floor space.
$8 for non-members who use a table provided (tables are limited and
will be assigned first contact first serve).
The tables provided are both round and the standard 6' length. For
those who would like a provided table, please indicate if you have a
preference. Remember, book shelves are a great way to display your
books as well.
Please use extra patience with me this year as I adjust to the new
challenges. It's only 3 weeks away. We have been able to put
together a good sale in 3 weeks time in the past so I anticipate this
will be a success as well. Spread the word and mark your items. I
look forward to seeing you then!!!
