Music is a big part of our lives here at Pennywise Learning. Two of us are worship leaders and have a love for worship music. For the last couple of years we have tried to find a music instruction solution to offer Homeschoolers.

Finally, we are pleased to announce Musicademy Instruction DVD’s. These DVD’s contain a year’s worth of music lessons. The focus is on learning to play worship music and offers tips and instruction from some of today’s most influential worship leaders. At present, there is instruction for beginning and intermediate guitar, keyboard, and vocal. Worship drums and bass instruction is coming soon.

If you are considering beginning your student in music lessons, I would encourage you to invest in a quality instrument. There are plenty of cheap instruments on the market but if you really want your child to develop a love for learning the instrument, then spend a little more and get the “right tool for the job”.

Newly Updated

The Art of Argument is one of my favorite logic curriculums. This text does not really teach one to argue but rather the logic behind the argument. There are twenty-eight informal fallicies presented and over sixty advertisments for items like blue jeans and pick-up trucks for sudents to apply the fallicies to.

This is a great course and I would highly recommend it. Click here for more info!

Yesterday our family celebrated Rosh Hashanah for the first time and we loved it. Rosh Hoshanah, the Feast of Trumpets is considered the Jewish New Year. For our family it also signified a time of remembrance of God’s blessings in our lives. I truly wish I had the opportunity that my children are having to celebrate and understand the significance the Jewish holidays.

As we prepare for Yom Kippur, I am truly amazed at how the Biblical Holidays are so interwoven and interconnected with our spiritual heritage. This season is a time of reflection, contemplation, and putting things in order and getting right our relationship with God. We see celebrating the Biblical Holidays as a great way to pass our faith to our children and teach them about the nature of God and our responsibility as His children.

A couple of months ago we featured A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays. This 585 page book is a great resources for understanding the Biblical Holidays from a Christian perspective. It even included a special Homeschool curriculum unit study. If you are interested in learning more about Biblical Holidays, click here!
