I know it’s a little early to be talking about Spring, especially since it’s snowing outside right now at our house, but March will be here before we know it!! And if you’re like me, you like to have time to prepare and gather materials and books so you’re ready to go – early…if possible.
So I have scoured the internet and gathered some fun Spring music studies, printables and activities that you can do in your homeschool for little or no money and with very little preparation. Spring time is all about rain, sunshine, gardening, bugs, insects and several fun holidays!! Each of those are so easy to add in some fun music with your regular unit study, which makes Spring one of my favorite seasons for music!! My favorite find is this fun Pancake Songs for Pancake Day. Pancake Day is traditionally the Tuesday before Lent begins.

Older kids might enjoy doing fun composer studies or notebooking pages for the composers who were born in March. Watch for our March Composer Study later this month!
Some composers you might want to study are:
Antonio Vivaldi – Four Seasons (Spring: Allegro is my absolutely favorite!)
Stephen Sondheim – Into the Woods, Send in the Clowns
Andrew Lloyd Webber – Cats, Phantom of the Opera
You could also do some fun song studies with movement and actions relating to the holidays in March.
As you can see, there are so many opportunities to add music in to your homeschool studies during the Spring! There are so many options, themes and fun songs and activities that you could literally do a new one each day!
How will you celebrate spring with music?
