4 Different classroom setups to help you decide what makes sense for you One of the strengths of the Prodigies Music Curriculum is its versatility. Whether you’re a parent using it as edutainment at home, a homeschooling mom starting a group music class, or even if you’re a classroom music teacher of 20 years, Prodigies will likely cause something of a mini-revolution in how you teach music! How you end up running your music lessons will be largely up to you, and here we’re going to look at 3 classroom setups and the pros and cons of each.

You're running a few classes and you're wondering about long term plans for you and your students. Long Term Engagement & Success Here at Prodigies, we encourage parents and teachers to start teaching their kids music from a really early age. This helps with ear development, building a lifelong love of music and has all kinds of cognitive and social benefits of for your kids. But one of the inherent problems with starting early is keeping music (with or without Prodigies) novel, fun and different enough to continue to engage your kids over many many years.
