Using this in a 5 week Home school COOP with 9/10y old. I love how you can adapt it to your desire and level up or down.
Absolutely love the SQUILT music calendars! My child is learning so much from them!
These were good. A good starting point. As someone who has zero music knowledge it was hard to “create a class” but the video clips helped.
I teach at a Christian school to very small classes, and both my older group (11-14) and younger group (5-10) loved the amount of options for the Christmas carol listening calendar! Carol of the Bells and O Come, O Come Emmanuel especially led to lots of great discussion about what makes music sound victorious, joyful, and rich. Thank you Mary!
S.Q.U.I.L.T. has brought a ton of fun into our home. We have completed the composers course, the orchestra course, some of the holiday lessons and monthly listening calendars when we like the theme. I didn't find a lot of reviews from parents with older kids and thought that this was geared more towards early elementary. Our kids are 11 and 13 and have loved it. We rate every selection with a five star system and write down commentary for each one, just for fun. A real stand out month for us was the Opera month. Such a fun course and one of the big highlights in our school day.
My kids (3-4) love the lessons, they are easy to follow, and my children love all the interesting facts! Me as their mom, appreciate how easy these are to teach and understand (im no music expert, yet I find it very easy to use)
I am a pregnant with my fourth child and actively homeschooling. This calendar has provided me an easy way for my children to not go a day without rich music appreciation. A quick scan and couple clicks and we are set after our pledge of allegiance. Thank you kindly for this product.
Squilt is a highlight during our morning time. They love it and I love how simple and “click-and-go” it is for me. I don’t have to worry about content either. It’s fabulous!
Love that it has links! We had fun with the musicals this month. Had trouble casting but don’t think that was a squilt issue so much as a YouTube/fire stick
Signing up for February as soon as we get paid :)
My boys enjoy hearing the different music and watching pieces of musicals.
The January listening calendar was a wonderful addition to my teens' morning time. Sparked lots of fun conversations.
My children, ages 7-13 have enjoyed the Baroque SQUILT so I decided to get the Christmas carols for December. I will definitely get the next volume next Christmas
Perfect for displaying in our homeschool room and a simple way to add to our music education and awareness.
We are enjoying the Christmas Carols study. My son likes the Draw What You Hear sheets, and we are learning a lot about music through listening for the different elements on the notebooking pages. I would love if we had access to a private playlist for the music in addition to the links in the document. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm looking forward to more in the future.
Good, but a little bit hard to read the vocabulary..maybe bold or some other addition?
We loved playing this in my homeschool co-op class! The kids had a blast and it was great to mix up listening time with a hands-on game.
I have kids aged 10-16 and we all look forward to SQUILT each day. Even the selections we don’t enjoy lead to rich conversation, and I can see that we are all becoming more aware of what we like, and of the talent and the work that goes into the creation of music. I also very much love how simple it is and that there is no prep work.
Bought this and have added the print outs to our SQUILT board.
My Grandson is 9 yrs old and is enjoying the Squilt series Meet the Composers as his first music appreciation class. He said " I like the music it makes me feel good and the composers are very interesting".
My kids are super engaged and loving this program!
