Where Music Meets Fun and Learning
Join Colin and Liza on an educational adventure in musical fun!
We are professional music educators, parents and musicians with over 50 years of combined teaching experience. Our goal here is to offer supplementary teaching solutions for elementary music education.
Together we've created Music by CandL, a program designed to enrich children's musical education. Parents and educators can incorporate this program both at home and at school. You can follow our lessons in order, jump around on an "as need" basis, or our program could be provided to a substitute teacher to assist in the classroom.
Learn, Play, and Grow with Music
Learn
Our teaching program will guide you through a music curriculum covering grades 1 to 6. We incorporate fun and entertaining videos, games, sound samples, and printable content. Special guests make frequent appearances, including other industry professionals and our favourite critters too!
Play
We believe the student must connect deeply with both the teacher and the material. The best way for children to connect with new musical concepts is through play. Our videos are designed to help students learn by keeping lessons fun and engaging.
Grow
Our handouts, interactive tools, and educational resources supplement our videos and allow for summative assessment purposes. This program is suitable for parents, elementary teachers with little music experience, and music specialist teachers who are just starting out in the classroom.
What is Music By CandL?
The Music By CandL Curriculum
We have created interactive video lessons that follow the Canadian Provincial elementary music curriculum.
We teach music by breaking down and explaining fundamental concepts through videos and worksheets. By following our unique weekly lessons, students will achieve the school board's desired educational outcomes, and will have a lot of fun in the process!
If you are from outside of Canada, or just want some fun music education for your children, Music by CandL is also for you!
Below is a summary of our core curriculum outcomes:
“The lessons and videos from Music by CandL are engaging, high quality, and aligned with real music curriculum outcomes. Colin, Liza, and their special guests will be a big help to classroom teachers with little musical experience, but specialists will also benefit from using the activities in the music room.”
