Our free, no-prep music lesson plans prioritize play time over screen time. These fully-scripted lessons are ready to use "as-is" or easy to "make your own." While we use screens on occasion, lessons are focused on student-teacher interaction, singing, listening, instrumental performance, and active movement. Every lesson is a rich musical moment where students connect with each other—not just a monitor.
