Parent Review Articles for Book Club 2023-2024


Starting in 2015 we have had a group of homeschool moms reading through Charlotte Mason's volumes. I wrote a blog called My Ultimate Charlotte Mason Volume Resource Post to share suggestions of group discussions, breaking up a volume into monthly readings, and other encouragement for each volume.

This year our group will begin reading and discussing some Parent Review articles each month. I am a "read and take notes on real paper" kind of gal so all 336 pages of PR articles are available on Amazon! https://amzn.to/3qj37Jy

Today I want to address the list of songs and melodic training within the schools.  My driving question through some of the research and reading I've done is "HOW were these singing and musical skills taught?"  I've come to the conclusion that for young students, the music instruction was given by "rote" or by the training in the sol-fa method that sequenced skills in order to sight sing a written melody.  Rote singing is simply aural instruction that can be done by echoing phrases until a student has learned the entire passage, and/or continual exposure to the song until mastery is demonstrated in the ability to sing alone and with others.
