We were thrilled to start and we were not disappointed! Something our kids, ages 5-11 each look forward to! We are new to SQUILT but have learned so much quickly, my kids are hearing music and comparing it to things we've studied. Really fun!

Excellent product.

What a fun way to expose and teach the instruments of the orchestra. Our girls enjoy finding the instruments their hear while listening to music. Well done!

We love the SQUILT listening calendars and try to add them during our month rotations that include music. It’s an easy and fun way to add beauty into our day and works when our family consists of a lot of littles.

SQUILT Goes to the Movies

We all have enjoyed our month at the movies, trying to guess which movie the piece is from and feeling the different emotions for each. So much learning going on and so much enthusiasm from the kids. It is the first thing they ask for each morning.

We decided to try out the Listening Calendar for a month. I promise you it doesn't disappoint! The kids and I love spending a small amount each day listening to a song. We get a chance to listen, point out instruments, and just enjoy music.

Loved the class! Can’t wait to take more . I really wish we understood a little bit more of the terminology but we were still able to have fun and learn

Excellent beyond my expectations! A+

Love all of Squilt resources. They are magnificently done.
Just what our family needed to dice deep into our composer study.
Thank you

Listening Calendar

We love Squilt ❤️

My kids just love this! Especially the live lessons. I am so glad we found it.

We've really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

I have wanted to try SQUILT for a long time now and finally bit the bullet. My kiddos, ages 6, 9, and 13, and I are absolutely loving it! If you're in the fence about joining take the plunge. You won't regret it 😁

This has been such a fun month!!! We absolutely loved the music selections so far and it’s something we look forward to each morning during our Morning Basket.

My kids are enjoying this addition to our curriculum!

We are so enjoying using the program. Especially during this shelter in!

My kids are really enjoying this "new-for-us" approach to music appreciation!

I love all of the fresh ideas and music!!

My kids are loving the listening calendar! We all have our morning cocoa/tea (me=copious amounts of coffee) and a good listen. Sparks interest, emotion, and deep meaningful conversations. Sometimes we delve deeper and other times we just discuss.
Perfect for keeping it light and fun these days- also, a movie night to follow us always a huge hit👍
Thank you SQUILT for making these kinds of days possible!

We used it today for the first time and all four of my kids, ages 11-15 enjoyed it and it led to a conversation about future jobs, hobbies and vacation plans ( we listened to jaws and Superman because they wanted more !)

This bundle is amazing! It's so easy to use, and I'm finally learning about instruments and their names.

We have thoroughly enjoyed this musical sampler! We had to move during our the school year and missed out on the second semester of our homeschool group, including the six weeks of music. I came across this sampler, and to be honest, it was better than what we had planned if we had followed what was written in our school book! We have enjoyed learning the structures and patterns of the pieces, accompanying vocabulary, and the video links of various performances. We have used the sampler during our morning time for my nine and 12 year old and we have all loved it. The sampler has enriched our school days and added beauty to our curriculum!

Listening Calendar

My daughter has gotten into ballet this past year, and we were so excited that the April listening calendar was all about ballet music! It has been so much fun to watch and listen to some favorite ballets and learn about some that we never knew about before. This is such a wonderful resource and helps out this busy homeschool mama so much! We love to sit and watch and listen during breakfast time, and it is a great part of our morning routine. Thank you, Squilt!

Great product! We've been listening to a suggested link from Mary with instrument presentations from YouTube to accompany these cards. I also made/found some coloring pages while they listen. I'm looking forward to using the Bingo cards as well, once we're familiar with the instruments. My kids (6, 4, 2) really love this!

We have really enjoyed this set of lessons (and all the lessons we have tried so far). There is just enough explicit (and implicit) teaching (and learning) for each unit, and Mary provides enough background information for us to have informed discussion. Thanks!

This has been the perfect small dose of good music for us! My kids are 4 and 2, so we don’t do all the activities, nor do we get to it every day, but they love watching the accompanying YouTube videos for this month and I love that we’re listening to quality music, even in little snippets. My four year has gotten interested in the stories behind the ballet music and this has been an awesome entry point for us, and very helpful for me, as a mom, to get some variety in our playlists.

SQUILT's listening calendars are cheap, user friendly, and offer a great introduction to a wide variety of composers and thematic music. I buy them every month!

We have truly been enjoying the ballet April calendar. It would’ve taken so long to put that type of thing together myself! And what lovely pieces of dance and music we are being exposed to! Thank you so much for this great resource!

Good package but the link for the ballet specific music playlist doesn’t take me to the music. Still have not been able to figure out how to get it to play just the music. It takes us to articles about ballet and some other links. Was looking more for a playlist we could just listen to in the background as we do school work.

We love our listening calendar as a family. It has been a huge treat for us. But the biggest treat is our 9 year old daughter who asks for it, learns so much from it and wants it everyday!

The pictures are simple yet realistic. The size of the cards are just right. This is a fantastic resource that finally interested my children in the instruments of the orchestra when conversation and picture books just weren't capturing their attention. On her own, my 8 year old used the cards as flash cards and memorized all the instruments quickly, which is amazing considering she had no desire to learn about them before these cards!

Volume 1 - Baroque Era

All my kids loved this. They wanted to see maple and show what they learned to daddy who is also working at home.
