Dive into the enchanting world of Franz Liszt and his delightful Christmas Tree Suite, a collection of 12 short piano pieces written as a gift for his granddaughter, Daniela. This episode offers a perfect blend of music history, theory, and festive fun, designed to bring joy and education to your homeschooling family. Gena Mayo, a veteran music teacher and homeschooling mom of eight, takes you on a magical journey through the life and works of Franz Liszt. Learn about Liszt’s early musical prowess, his rise to fame that stirred "Lisztomania" across Europe, and his generous spirit that made him a beloved teacher and composer. You’ll discover fascinating anecdotes, including how his passionate playing would sometimes break piano strings and wear out the instruments themselves. The episode dives deep into the Christmas Tree Suite, highlighting pieces like "O Holy Night," "Scherzoso," and "Shepherds at the Manger." Gena explains how Liszt used dynamics, major and minor tonalities, and thematic transformation to create varying moods and emotions in his music. To make this more engaging for your homeschool, she shares fun, hands-on activities, such as drawing what you hear, creating your own Christmas suite, guessing the mood of melodies, and matching dynamics. Don’t miss the chance to make music education fun and memorable this holiday season.

Click to send Gena a message! Welcome to the "Music in Our Homeschool" podcast, where we explore the beautiful synergy between music education and homeschooling. In this episode, we are thrilled to host Andrew Pudewa, renowned educator and founder of the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW). Andrew delves into expanding his talk from "Cultivating Language Arts Preschool through High School" to include "cultivating attentiveness," shedding light on how music plays a pivotal role in developing attentiveness in children. Join our host, Gena Mayo, a seasoned homeschooling mom of eight and a dedicated music teacher with over 30 years of experience, as she draws connections between Andrew's insights and her work with Music Garden—a program focusing on early childhood music education. Together, they discuss the importance of integrating music into homeschool curriculums and how it can significantly enhance learning and attentiveness. Andrew passionately shares his vision for the "Singing Made Easy" program, a brainchild of his late mother, Marcia, aimed at making music education accessible and integral to family life. He emphasizes that singing doesn't require expensive instruments, just a book of music and recordings. This natural approach can ignite children's interest in playing instruments and contribute immensely to their language development, memory enhancement, and overall brain growth. Andrew's personal anecdotes bring to life the joy and value of music-making within families, emphasizing that investing time and attentiveness in learning to sing can have profound emotional and health benefits. He also highlights the deep cultural and social significance of group singing in fostering community bonds and emotional well-being. The episode doesn't fall short of historical and cultural critique, shedding light on past practices where singing was a daily part of school life. Andrew makes a compelling case for reintegrating these practices into modern education. Tune in to discover practical tips on incorporating quality music education into your homeschool routine and inspire your children to explore and enjoy the world of music.
