One subject that Charlotte included in her schools was singing.

And it's a subject that some homeschool families are not quite sure how to incorporate,

but it can add so much richness to your home school and to your family.

We're going to discuss all the advantages of putting singing into your home school.

Welcome to the Simply Charlotte Mason podcast. I'm Sonia Schaefer.

Joining me today is my friend and co-worker, Christy Hassan.

Christy, thanks for being with us again.

Thanks for having me. We want to talk about singing.

And I know this is a subject dear to your heart.

And I mean, let's just put it out there.

A lot of homeschool families, I get the impression at least,

they are not quite sure how to incorporate singing

into their home school, especially Charlotte did Solfij. And, you know, when you're trying to sing in parts, here's the problem. We all have the von Trapp family in our heads, and we're thinking we're not measuring up to the sound of music. So help us with this whole topic of singing in the home school.

Well, one thing we have that the Von Trapps did not have is the internet. That is true. Yes.

And there are lots of videos with people actually singing on them. So you sing with people who can

actually sing. So you don't have your voice exposed,

as it were, if you're self-conscious about it or timid about it. Because if you're self-conscious or

timid, your children will be. That's a very good point. So tell me a little bit about why you

include singing. What are the advantages?

And also tell me, well, keeping in mind the time limits we have.

But also about how you incorporated singing.

Just tell us everything you can remember from your experience homeschooling.
