How to Start the Homeschool Year with Consistent Music and Fine Arts

Do you start every homeschool year with big dreams for music and fine arts — only to watch them fade by October? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Music in Our Homeschool podcast, veteran homeschool mom of eight and music teacher of 30+ years Gena Mayo shares her simple, doable framework for keeping music and fine arts a joyful, consistent part of your homeschool from day one.

You’ll learn:

• Why short, consistent lessons are more effective than occasional long ones
• How to use “habit stacking” to make arts lessons a natural part of your day
• A simple weekly rotation that prevents overwhelm and keeps lessons fresh
• The power of ready-to-go resources, including the Music Lesson Calendar of the Month (a pre-planned 15-minute lesson for each weekday)
• How the Fine Art Pages can build art appreciation effortlessly in your home
• Tips for choosing “quick win” lessons in the first month to spark momentum

Whether you have little ones or teens, this episode will help you start strong and keep music and fine arts going all year long — without extra stress or guilt.
