This example schedule is based on Charlotte Mason’s schedule of solfa lessons twice a week for ten minutes each. If the lessons don’t take up the entire ten minutes, sing one of the songs again. Many of the songs are game songs. Some require larger groups. You may pick and choose your favorites among the game songs and repeat them if you wish. The goal is to have your children singing and moving along to the music.
