A day in the life of the Class 8 student.
You are a homeschool family and have the freedom to make our program work best for your family's lifestyle.Â
Create Your Best RhythmÂ
Each family uses our program differently. Attending the weekly parent office hour is a great way to learn from each other and communicate with your child's teacher. Some families will wake and get right to work after breakfast while others will take a walk first. Some will work through all the content while others will space it throughout the day.
You get it pick!

Emphasis is on creative expression and musical exploration, where everyone participates together in the creation of beautiful music. Rythmic and Melodic Notation are explored in a fun, organic way that relates to the Feeling Life of the music rather than the Intellectual, and we will compose our own songs.Â
German:
The aim of the course is to experience the German language, to get used to its sounds, acquire basic vocabulary and speaking skills. It is intended for beginners with no or little previous exposure to the German language. The vocabulary covered will include actions, counting, phrases, cultural references and many words describing aspects of everyday life.
Eurythmy Theme:Â "Freedom"
We will use this as the guide to all the gestures and form walking we do this year, which is a deeper study of the gestures and form walking. For tone, we will work with intervals, harmonies, and tone gestures, as well as, gravity and levity through raying and streaming. For copper rods we will learn to master and properly execute advanced copper rod exercises as well as learn to form walk with these.
