Over the past two decades, music textbooks have gradually disappeared from elementary and middle school systems across the United States. Consequently, music teachers have had to piece together their lesson plans, a time-consuming process that requires substantial effort for every grade level. In the USA, there is no established, standardized approach to music education, forcing teachers to dedicate countless hours to curriculum planning. Even with the emergence of online music programs, fragmentation still persists. My Music Journal marks a significant milestone as the first comprehensive music teaching method to be introduced at each grade level in many years.

Through interactive activities, they will also develop a keen ear for pitch and tone, applying their knowledge by singing along with carefully selected songs.

But that’s not all! Visual and audio identification of musical instruments, such as piano, guitar, and so many other instruments are seamlessly integrated into the course. Students will discover how music vocals differ from everyday oral communication, and they’ll even learn to distinguish between major and minor tones through their ears. As the course progresses, students will be captivated by the concepts of tempo and dynamics, understanding the nuances of music as it accelerates or decelerates and softens or intensifies. And there’s more! We’ll introduce them to essential musical vocabulary, like chorus, verse, introduction, and coda, laying the foundation for lyrical exploration.
